Whitney, George Eugene (Moxie), 1919-1989 : Born in Brockville, Ontario, in 1919, George Eugene Whitney began his musical studies on the piano, switching to guitar after injuring a hand in a farm accident. Whitney (whose nickname Moxie was derived from his mother's maiden name, Moxam), embarked on a musical career in Toronto in the late 1930s. He led his own Hawaiian-styled group, the Pacific Swingsters, and played guitar in other Toronto dance bands. Following wartime service as a trumpeter in a Royal Canadian Air Force band, Whitney resumed his career as a dance band leader. The Moxie Whitney Orchestra had a longstanding engagement at Canadian Pacific's Royal York Hotel in Toronto (1948-1960, 1962-1971), with a seasonal summer engagement at its Banff Springs Hotel (1947-1960, 1962). In 1961, an industrial dispute at the Royal York Hotel led to a one-year re-location of the Whitney orchestra to the Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii, United States of America. The Moxie Whitney Orchestra was regularly featured on local, national, and occasionally international radio broadcasts from the Royal York, and it also made a number of commercial recordings. In addition to performing Whitney's own dance band repertoire, the orchestra regularly accompanied prominent singers and entertainers who were featured at the Royal York and Banff Springs hotels. With the opening of his own booking agency in 1962, Whitney's role in the Canadian Pacific hotel chain grew to encompass serving as its music director. Following a change in the Royal York's entertainment policy in 1971, Whitney temporarily retired from music and embarked instead on a career as a businessperson and hotelier in the Cayman Islands. Returning to Canada in 1975, Whitney became the band leader and music and entertainment director at the Chateau Laurier Hotel in Ottawa, where he also continued his activities as a booking agent. He remained active in those capacities until his death in Brockville in 1989.
