To whom it may or may not concern....[edit]

I have been updating the article on Arcesia for the past couple of weeks, for, as during his lifetime, he had the distinction of being one of the most misunderstood and maligned personalities in his profession and personal life...In 1978, after studying with him and reviewing his work, he assigned to me the rights to his intellectual properties to do with as I will. Recently I have decided to begin preparing these various works, i.e., recordings, books, songs etc. for public release and distribution. The works forthcoming should be, to say the least, interesting and controversial as well as educational and entertaining.....More later, Michael F. McCartney....

Thank you for your contributions to the article. I just stumbled upon it. I have never heard the man's music. I cleaned up the article a tad, but did not edit any of your words. I also added the WP's above. --EndlessDan 14:27, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote music to John Arcesi's lyrics when I was just beginning as a composer. His descriptive writing opened my creativity to new levels. I will always be grateful for our collaboration which made me a better writer. I have a photo of the Bombers, a cut sheet from the Capitol Records promo, some 78 recordings of the Bombers, and of course, the written music we did together. It was a great experience working with him. Irl Thomas/ASCAP —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.109.7.50 (talk) 15:32, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to the op for the great article, I just viewed John's interview-singing from CBS, c. 1952, he truelly was atrocious. "Reachin" sounds like a step up if you can believe it after listening to "lost in your love". He decidedly had absolutely no talent for his chose profession.91.132.224.196 (talk) 00:27, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
