Norm, you are a great source of knowledge about the Los Angeles scene, past and present. I watched the LAPO Hollywood Bowl Verdi Requiem performance on PBS tonight. Do you know who was playing cimbasso? It looked to be a huge instrument. Wonder what the details are-----manufacturer, bore, pitch, etc.Norm Pearson wrote:George Boujie

I've been told that George played most of the Flintstones sound track too. Anyone know for sure? Ed

The guy holding the bass looks like Zeppo Marx to me (the one on the right in this picture).

Did you know Frank Sinatra's last wife, Barbara, was the widow of Zeppo Marx?
