Page Cavanaugh, Ageless Wonder of the Keyboard, remembers it all, with nearly 70 years of professional playing time behind him and more in front. Plus working with Sinatra, Doris Day and many more. Cavanaugh’s been there, done that, probably a dozen times. And could he be Hollywood’s oldest, living, still working musical treasure?

He‘s 83 now, still making the gig! Currently playing at the elegant landmark Sunset Tower Hotel on Hollywood’s Sunset Strip. He features music from his new album, "Return To Elegance," a homage to the great American songwriters -- Gershwin, Berlin, Arlen, Porter, etc, etc--and their music.

Several aging rockers are mining this same territory today claiming these as songs their mother taught them. Not Page Cavanaugh: he was around, albeit a child piano prodigy, when many were first written. Others had yet to be written. To him these new fresh melodies smelled like teen spirit! And Cavanaugh knew many of these songwriters personally.

For Cavanaugh, the Sunset Tower Hotel is basically visiting the Old Neighborhood. He’s been working in and around this area for nearly 60 years… and remembers it all.

Consider the Cavanaugh Career (short version).

Movies: he’s made around a dozen, big musicals, music shorts, and a Disney cartoon. Even a horror flick! If a studio needed a hip music group to back up the star singer or as a specialty spot, Cavanaugh got the call. He was paired with (a very young) Doris Day in her first film, worked with Danny Kaye, Benny Goodman, Danny Thomas, and more…even Frankenstein’s Daughter (the horror movie)!

Radio: radio was live in the 40s and 50s. The big stars had their own shows and Cavanaugh was an omnipresent guest on them all -- Sinatra, Mel Torme, Doris Day, Peggy Lee, a long list. Sinatra was a big fan. He took Cavanaugh on the road

Clubs: Spots such as Ciro’s were places where Lana Turner or Clark Gable might be at the next table. One certainty: Page Cavanaugh would be on the bandstand.

All this was happening literally just up the road from where Cavanaugh plays today. The Old Neighborhood. Eventually the studios stopped making musicals, disc jockeys took over radio and the clubs are now the Ghosts of Sunset Strip. But Cavanaugh carries on, making the gig. He finds places to play and tours (yes, he’s played Carnegie Hall!) Cavanaugh’s recordings, now thoroughly digital are on the internet, the musician who started with 78 rpm shellac can now be googled!

Cavanaugh may well be the last of his kind -- the great saloon singers and musicians who were in at the final flowering of the Great American Songbook and remained true to their code.
