Andy McKee & Yasmin Williams Tickets at The Alibi in Palm Springs by The Alibi

The Santa Fe Federal Savings building appears to float above the surface due to its recessed foundation and cantilevered floor slab. John Wessman later owned the property and used it for his offices. In an arrangement, it became under the ownership of the Palm Springs Art Museum in 2014 and underwent a full restoration. It is now called the Palm Springs Art Museum’s Architecture and Design Center Edwards Harris Pavilion. Marmol Radziner was the architectural firm responsible for the restoration.

The “Iowa Barn Dance” on WHO in Des Moines, then on WLS in Chicago and on to WLW in Cincinnati. I have been going there since 1965, and boy, it's grown a lot since then, but it's still a real nice place. Considering the degree to which Williams helped invigorate the community, La Quinta bears little in the way of formal recognition of its foremost citizen, who died in 2012. The city honored him with a street named Moon River Drive. “But nothing said Andy Williams, which has always bugged me,” Cunard says.

“I go to every museum there is.” A Jackson Pollock oil is the centerpiece of Andy Williams's study.

Natural rock cladding flanks a monumental metal chimney connecting the two wings. Stewart Williams was able to fully implement his design philosophy of bringing the features of the environment and landscape into the living space of the buildings and home. The house is essentially a roof over the garden so the desert can flow through. It was designed to be a shelter in a very harsh climate.

The Oasis Commercial Building was inspired by modernist architect Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye in France. It was painted white on a smooth exterior surface which gave it a striking example of the International Style on such a busy corner. Angled, floor-to-ceiling windows facing Palm Canyon Drive enclose the ground floor shops that are deeply recessed beneath the second story to provide welcoming shade. Centering the building was an interior courtyard open to the sky that offered a pleasant setting for al fresco dining. Natural rock cladding on the walls surrounds the courtyard softening the straight lines of the composition. A passageway provided access between the south end of the building and the original Oasis Hotel tower.

The Desert Museum was located in a small downtown building erected in 1958. Due to a two-story height limit in Palm Springs at the time, a subterranean level was necessary to accommodate the 75,000 square foot building planned for the site. The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway was a joint venture of the architectural firms of Frey and Chambers, and Williams, Williams & Williams. Stewart Williams as lead designer, was responsible for the mountain station.

A three story 44 room wing was added in 1964 by William’s. Today, the location of the William’s 44 room addition is home to the Palm Mountain Resort & Spa. Part of the arrangement with Western Hotels on the Oasis Hotel project involved leasing half of the second story of the Oasis Commercial Building to Williams, Williams and Williams upon completion. The new space offered many advantages including a contemporary modern reception room, conference room, and a large drafting room all bathed in light from the north-facing windows. He was extremely meticulous and had his hand in all aspects of design, including built-ins, light fixtures, mailboxes, and eve light switches.

You will find a biography and some wonderful photos of the early days of the Williams Brothers Quartet, Kay Thompson and his Moon River Theater. The singer Andy Williams is a keen golfer who loves the stark beauty of the desert surrounding Palm Springs. “We had a common love of golf, music, and good food,” Cunard says.

The album would remain at Number One on the charts for four months. He remained in New York, where he struggled for two and a half years before landing a job as a performer on Steve Allen’s Tonight Show. That led to his first record contract, with Cadence Records, and his first big hit, “Canadian Sunset” in 1956. Thompson went on to write the Eloise books, Dick Williams went to sing with the Harry James band, Don became an actor and later an agent and manager. The best place to start is with the official website.

The links to hear samples of his music won’t get you anything other than a search engine. I started going to Palm Springs because a lot of movie types – some of whom were friends – who wanted to get away from the Hollywood scene for a few days, would head out that way. In those days, I lived in Los Angeles, and Palm Springs is only a 100 miles away. Now I live in Branson, Missouri, so it's much farther away, but I still visit every year, sometimes more than once.

At the north end of the house, the outside garden continued into the living room where numerous boulders surrounded an open fire pit. Unpainted wood surfaces defined interior walls as well as the built-in furniture Williams integrated into all of the rooms. Because the property was situated in the north end of town, Stewart erected a long pebble encrusted tilt-up concrete wall to block the winds. Amid all the hustle and bustle of a life spent in the spotlight, Williams made La Quinta his home. He moved to the area in 1965, purchasing a spacious but understated home for his family at La Quinta Country Club.

After settling in Palm Springs following America’s entry into WWII, his father opened an architectural firm that would be located in La Plaza. The discography has been updated to include comments about some of his many albums, song listings, release dates and how well they did on the charts or in the stores. There aren’t a lot of posts so reading them doesn’t take long. The only area where the site falls down is on the Multimedia page.

He’s also filming a TV special for PBS with Ann-Margret and Petula Clark, and heading off soon on a concert tour of Japan and Hong Kong. When I was getting divorced from my first wife in the Seventies I went to a hospital in Canada where I took LSD for three days. A psychiatrist in San Diego suggested it to find out why I was unhappy. I took three shots and discovered that the only things that matter in life are your children and your family.

But in 1944, Thompson was arranging music for MGM, working closely with Judy Garland and many others. “La Quinta will always be my home,” Williams told The Desert Sun in 1993. “It’s where I come back to.” True to his word, Williams remained deeply invested in the community, supporting causes such as the arts foundation and the Boys & Girls Club for many years. Many people say that Williams never met a stranger; he was incredibly gracious with his time and made sure the fans he met in person knew how much he appreciated their support. For the remainder of his life, Andy and Debbie Williams spent as many as eight months each year in Branson. Nevertheless, La Quinta remained his center of gravity.
