I think what I like most about my children that I taught was that they understood that I was going to be a fair teacher, but I was going to be a difficult teacher at times. Times,
Nestor Aparicio 05:00
give them that look, give everybody wants to see that look, pretend, yeah, I said, I said something wrong to you. I
Calvin Statham 05:05
could be difficult put
Nestor Aparicio 05:06
your finger at and get that No, I’m not gonna do that because you had a little office over on the side where you Yes, uh huh. I had straighten things out as I remember,
Calvin Statham 05:15
and I could get my children to understand me very well in that office without violence, no problems, all right, whatsoever. I talked to them. I talked to them. There were many that I had to just talk to. That’s all because they were wonderful. And I mean that well they thought I’m out of here when my time is a long time from now, because you’re only 83 Yeah, I know, but, uh, How’s your wife? Everybody always ask about Madeline is doing fair. She’s doing pretty good, but she’s had some problems, and she’s going through some things now with her health, but she’s doing pretty good. Well, you
Nestor Aparicio 05:52
were over here. Tell me how many times she went to Japan, all over the world, stadium singers.
Calvin Statham 05:57
I said she she has been very fortunate. She has traveled the world over. She even sang in the China Sea in Vietnam on the ship. We have the pictures and everything. But she’s had a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful life. So I’ve had a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful life, too. We had, we both did what we wanted to do. And Madeline, I think her destiny was to sing all over this world, and she did, and she did. She did sing well too. Nobody
Nestor Aparicio 06:35
of my era will ever forget the spring and the Christmas choral events where you would bring in the stadium singers right and get everybody right on Delve Avenue Exactly,
Calvin Statham 06:46
exactly. But they were, it was the time for us to have have things like that. So,
Nestor Aparicio 06:53
yeah, I just say this to you, Calvin, because I had you on about two, three years ago. We did the show at drug city, and we sang some songs, and about a week later, I put it out on the radio and the internet. People saw it. And my pal Bruce share, who’s one of my partners here at W, N, S, T is father owned the blast Nathan a red share also owned a Lomas ruler, as you remember a Lomas ruler, and he said to me, is that the Calvin stadium that taught at Pikesville back and I’m like, no Calvin stadium taught at Pikesville. He’s done dark all. Come on, man, Sparrows Point,
Calvin Statham 07:30
oh no, but I was Sparrows Point, but I did teach at Pikesville. How
Nestor Aparicio 07:34
many years of Pikesville? Eight years? Well, Bruce was one of them, and you’re gonna tell your Pikesville store, but I got to keep going here. Floyd Bryce says, Cool dude. Lisa, Michelle to Hearn says, He looks as amazing as he always did. Michelle Tanner, I know your maiden name, he is just the best. Tina Jenko, my girl from Colgate, he is the greatest with three hearts behind that Christine single act is, hello Christine, no way. Wow. Loved his class so much. Ron draker says, from Florida, good stuff. And then Jimmy Thomas, my, my Pop Warner, quarterback and a quarterback in the Dundalk Al’s longtime Morgan State man. Jimmy T says that’s our guy. Nothing but admiration for a man that has a hand in our growth. That’s wonderful. We all talk about you so nice. I didn’t say anything good about you back in the day. You were hard, you were tough, you were mean, you were only made me sing, right? Uh
Calvin Statham 08:37
huh. Does that make me mean? I
Nestor Aparicio 08:40
invited you back here all these years later to tell you how much I love you. All right, okay. Well, Ron Ron West, my dear friend, has been writing me offline. He was trying to get over here today with his wife, and she had a cold and didn’t want to get anybody sick. He mentioned Barry shock, and he said, Please tell him that his and Barry shocks education, a Barry’s art teacher meant more to me than any English or math class. So you messed up, you out taught the important teachers.
Calvin Statham 09:11
Well, I wasn’t trying to do that. I was just trying to be myself, and that’s all. What
Nestor Aparicio 09:17
makes a good teacher in the morning, to be a good teacher because
Calvin Statham 09:22
I wanted to get up in the morning because I couldn’t wait to get to my children. I guess that’s the answer. I couldn’t wait to get to them. I looked forward to seeing them. I look forward to talking to them. I look forward to going down the hall to the cafeteria with them. I look forward to sitting in the cafeteria with them on lots of occasions, and sitting there eating and laughing and having a good time with the children. And when we got back to our class, we could still go back to Mr. Statham and his children. And I think of being in
Nestor Aparicio 09:58
your class and all the. So we did and singing Scott madure and Doug Bennett, I have great, I mean, pictures. I lost Doug Bennett, I found a picture of me and Doug in your chorus singing our hearts out right before the state of singers got up and showed us how to do it, you know. And when I thought of you, I think of being in My Fair Lady with you, because I was in a show with you, and you totally miscast me. We went through that the last time I should have been Freddie. I’ll clear my throat, start to sing on the street where you live. But when I think of you in that way, you gave us so much confidence that we were Jeff cram, and I talked about this recently, Anna Marie, like you made us feel like we were the greatest actors in the world in 1981 and we were kids, and I asked you about doing shows with kids in middle school and junior high and all that stuff. And you still beam with like we really were good. You still are making me believe we were really good. I’m gonna stop you, right? I was the best Zoltan car party. You that there ever was you were not
Calvin Statham 11:02
really good. You were excellent. I want to use that word Excellent, okay, not good, excellent. All I
Nestor Aparicio 11:12
remember is what a crusty old, nasty, mean curmudgeon you were. You were the day. We were getting the value. I’ve talked about this before. Anybody that ever went to an evaluation with him over Parkville and ate chinos fried chicken afterwards, we did that too. Yes, you from about a week before. What did, what did we call it was that was it called, uh, we got graded. What was it called? We were rating, rating assessed. What was it? It had a you had it was a formal thing,
Calvin Statham 11:42
right? It was very formal. But you had to show your skills at singing real music, not just easy music. I won’t go like that, yeah, but going to
Nestor Aparicio 11:55
take a sin.
Calvin Statham 11:56
They wanted you to show all of your skills, right? And you, you all did a version. Man,
Nestor Aparicio 12:03
you would bang on that piano, and you would look at us with this intensity, and he’d look at all of us, and he would, you know, get us all where we needed to be, and and then we would done, and it was we let the towel off. Man, I mean, it was like a prize fight windows
Calvin Statham 12:18
when those papers got back to Howard bro and
Nestor Aparicio 12:22
you read them off to us, evaluation is what it was called, right evaluation, evaluation.
Calvin Statham 12:27
So they said that you were outstanding, just like I would say it outstanding.
Nestor Aparicio 12:33
You took it personally if we weren’t, if we screwed up. It was bad, Calvin.
Calvin Statham 12:37
Yes, it was very, very, very bad, but not for Calvin. It was bad for my children, because they were taught to learn to sing in a good way and to know what harmony and beautiful music meant to their teacher and to their parents and to their friends. That’s important. I’m
Nestor Aparicio 13:01
gonna let you, you go, because you got to get home to Madeline, and I’m gonna get your crab cake and do all that work. Cost us Mr. Calvin stadium, my middle school, everybody’s middle school teacher in Holly bird and Pikesville and other places, 83 years young. And love them up for the holidays. I come down here to cost us help you live in the area here too. So I like to have you by and Jerry Piper and Lori are just great friends of mine. They brought him. Jerry didn’t want to come over here, and he and Calvin had this special relationship. You know, you want to come over and be a part. He’s, no, I’m not in. Jerry is old Raven fan, but you talk football colts and all that. But come over here. Jerry pipe, oh no. Now, once he calls you, it’s over. You have to come now. I don’t think there’s any,
Calvin Statham 13:42
but you and Lynn, I mean, Lori, listen to me. I wait one minute. I want both of them to come. You got
Nestor Aparicio 13:50
to come chair. Come on. Come on over here. Not gonna let it go. We’re gonna stop the show. We don’t and I don’t have chair. Jerry’s from Dundalk, his old brother, his younger brother, actually went to school with me. Was quarterback of the football team. Get in the middle here, chair. Here you go, put that, pop that on, and I’ll get this working for you here. Jerry Piper, by the way, ladies and gentlemen, my friend and by the way, dude, I found pictures of you and me. You wearing your navy gear. I found pictures of you and me. You’re good. I found pictures of you and me doing Raven stuff out at the barn. You used to bring your boy out to the barn all the time, right? Never missed it. Never missed it. Never you see you were always there. We were always I didn’t know well, you live down the street, so it was one of the thing. I’m get your mic here. So how do you know this guy? Because Jerry and his wife, this has to do with the crab cake tour, Jerry stundock guy, but Jerry and Laurie son went to high school with my Do you know this? Went to high school with my son at Perry Hall High School. Okay? 2001 2002 2000 in that era, I was nationally syndicated out Chicago, Illinois. So I was a single parent. My son was a high school student and and my mom was in Dundalk at the time. My kid went to Perry. It’s kind of old. Have to move his own waves, 1415, like that, 16, but he needed some supervision, yes, and I needed to put him in Dundalk hands. So Jerry and Lori, they did for my son what you did for me. They took his shoe right here. And you know they, you know. So they did this for my son, okay? And I never knew you knew him. I never knew he knew you. And I had my dear friend Brian Doak got COVID in a crab cake tour over at Eastern Maryland. And my wife and I didn’t have any place to stay on, like day 23 of the crab cake tour. I put it out online. They offered us to stay on their boat, St Michael’s, and we went down, we had a couple cocktails, and there were dogs involved, as I remember, there were thunderstorms, there were really bad crab cakes. Don’t ever get a crab cake at St Michael’s, Ed Hale told me, Don’t do that. And I don’t do don’t get a crab cake there. But he and I got talking late at night, and your name came up, and I’m like, is Calvin stadium that old that he taught you, right? So what? When did you encounter Calvin stadium and become his? You keep we all keep you, man, we all love you, all all your children. We are all the same.
Calvin Statham 16:13
But this one, all I can say is, I can’t even express it. I have to just sit back and listen. Whenever anybody talks about this one,
Nestor Aparicio 16:23
is he more special than me? I didn’t say that. All right. I’m just making sure. I’m just making sure, but that’s it, because nobody’s more special to me. You told me I was like, Forrest Gump, I was special. Man, come on. When did you encounter him? You went to, you went to you went to Hollywood, 60s, man, you’re like older than
16:43
I think you are, 1967 first time I saw him, 1967 in his music room.
Nestor Aparicio 16:49
Was he old? Then cranky? He was 27 but you thought he was 87 then he
16:55
was cranky, but he was I did it. I came in the door and he said he was looking at me, and he said, Well, don’t stand the door. Get over here. Grab a chair, sit your butt down. I’ll get to you in a minute. Three years changed my life. Well,
Nestor Aparicio 17:13
it’s funny because we reunite a couple years ago, because my fair lady was the show I was in with you, and it was this time of year. It was Christmas time. But two, three years ago, and the commercials were coming on that my fair lady was playing a Hippodrome. And I love the folks at the Hippodrome. I wanted to come down. And my wife had never seen it, and I always told her this guy, he cast me as a mad, Hungarian ghoul with a beard. Man, Malvin, I’m telling you, I still got the glue behind my ears from that beard she put on over metal back in 1981 so I said to Jen chin, Jen, Jen, like My Fair Lady the movie, I’m like, well, let’s go to the show. And I said, I’m gonna call Calvin stadium and invite him. And she had heard a little bit about you, and I gave her two weeks of, like, when you meet this guy, this guy shines. He’s like, a different kind of guy. And then she met you, and within five minutes she’s like, Oh, I like him. I wish he would have taught me music. So we did My Fair Lady, and you picked him up and brought him. You’re the drive. Jerry’s the driver, right? Driving, Mr. Stadium, driving. Cal Laurie is the driver. Lori’s the driver. You don’t even drive.
Calvin Statham 18:25
He doesn’t know how
18:28
I sat in the back seat, and he’s got to sit next to my wife all
Nestor Aparicio 18:31
the time. See, I got this all wrong. I’m glad I bring you on exactly. I don’t want to report lies.
Calvin Statham 18:37
I want, I want to. I want it to be reported correctly.
Nestor Aparicio 18:42
So what makes this guy special? 50 years later,
18:44
always been special, just big influence in all of our lives. Everybody was we weren’t his we were never his students. We were his children, and he treated us as such. Can you imagine
Nestor Aparicio 18:57
if every teacher we ever we had a lot of great teachers now, and you every I held these pictures up, you said, Well, he passed away, she passed away. God. What a good person. What a good you. These were your workmates, and you have such fond memories for all of them, but we don’t remember all of them. We remember you and a handful of others. But it is, it is amazing when I put your picture up, but you see, you’re like Santa Claus, you know?
Calvin Statham 19:24
Well, I didn’t, I didn’t know I was like Santa Claus, but I guess in a good way,
Nestor Aparicio 19:31
your presence is my present. Okay, is that good? Yeah, that’s good. Is that good for the holidays? Can
Calvin Statham 19:36
we drop the mic on that? Yes, you can. That’s, that’s a good thing, all right, well,
Nestor Aparicio 19:39
I’m gonna get you back on what’s your favorite Christmas song? That’s what I wanted to add. What I wanted to ask you, because you’ve been sitting here for three hours eating crab cakes, regaling the Dundalk people, and you’ve been singing songs I’m sitting here, and so I figured you and I should do some caroling. May
Calvin Statham 19:57
ask you a question. Yes, sir. What makes you tick?
Nestor Aparicio 20:05
What makes you dick? Sex, drugs and rock and roll is what it is. It’s exactly the answer you wanted for me in it. It’s crab cakes and Coco is what makes me tick. Good. Good picture. You keep up the good work. Jerry came to me two hours ago. He’s like, I’m a little worried about Calvin. His energy’s a little low. And I’m like, he didn’t wake up till four o’clock in the afternoon. He’s up all night watching late night television.
Calvin Statham 20:30

So maybe we go, we’re gonna find anybody out there is doing a show in the spring, March, April, I want to bring Calvin, but tell them, they better be excellent, because if you’re in the crowd, it better be your issues getting evaluated for the minute you get there.

And were there, my is this professional hippodrome Broadway. Were there. It was very obvious. You miscast me. I should have been Freddie in the holibi production in 81 but Freddie came out, the real friend, the Broadway Freddie, I have often walked down the street before, and you’re like, that boy can sing. That’s what you said to me. You’re evaluating him the minute. He could be in my show, he could be in my family. He could be my Freddie. And I’m like, what about me? You know? Well, what does that but you’re evaluating also, if you have a show at Notre Dame prep, you did a great job, I would come back. I don’t know what you’re doing. If you’re doing Guys and Dolls or something. This year will come. I want to take you to see a show somewhere and and that I know it’s going to be good.
