The "New Cape Cod" Rejection Letter
The Patti Page and Bette Midler classic hit, "Old Cape Cod", was always a favorite of Red Peters. The salty air, the numerous 2nd-degree sunburns and boners on the beach were all pleasant memories for Red growing up and vacationing on the Cape. In fact, early in Red's career, he met one of the writers of the song, Milton Yakus, at a yard sale in Quincy and they really hit it off. Little did Red realize then, that this brush with greatness would later result in a personal, artistic experience with the song a few years later.
In the summer of 1994, Red, along with the Alan Pinchloaf Singers, recorded bandleader Babe Marino's masterful arrangement of the song, "New Cape Cod". Babe had just returned from a five-year stay in Hollywood and saw Cape Cod in a whole new light. Cape Cod had changed in his absence. The new lyrics seemed to just pour out of his head after a brief, unpleasant vacation with his whole family. Red thought the beautiful tune would be perfect for inclusion on his debut album, "I Laughed, I Cried, I Fudged My Undies!" The album was set for a Fall 1995 release.
But that was not to be. On August 15, 1995, Red's high-priced, Boston attorney, Javier Pico, received a rejection notice from the George Pincus Publishing Company in New York. It was a flat-out refusal to issue a mechanical license and denied Red permission to include the recording on his album!
For some strange reason, they said no. And to rub it in, they insensitively stamped the lyric sheet, NO LICENSE, faxed it back, shut off their phones, and left the office for the day! There was absolutely no room for negotiation.
Just before the manufacturing was set to begin, Red had to pull it out at the last second!
