Roy 29 Jul : 04:01 Thanks to Ted Hering, the "Desperadoes Doom" is now available for download. - A hard to find novelty from Barbary Coast Records. This track is the final cut on the LP. The saloon band is picked off one-by-one by music critics.
ted.hering 22 Jun : 19:30 Ron, you can find several with a Google or Yahoo search (click on "Images"). Flickr seems to have a growing assortment. Still, there aren't as many photos of Spike as you might expect. I wonder why that is?
Ronald E. Villa 22 Jun : 00:58 Ted, thank you for this information. I have been trying to get pictures of the band from 1945 to 1960. I haven't located many on the internet. Can you direct me to a source for the pictures. Best Regards, Ron
ted.hering 21 Jun : 03:26 Hi, Ron, The Ink Spots parody starred band members Sir Frederick Gas (with the 'natural' hair), Freddy Morgan, and Bernie Jones.
Ronald E. Villa 19 Jun : 02:42 can someone provide me with the names of the 3 band members in the "Ink Spots" parody " You only Hurt the One You Love. Thanks, Ron
I've posted a photo of Charlotte with Spike's Other Orchestra in the Forum section.
Sunni 1 14 Mar : 01:31 I would like to find a photo of Spike Jones' orchestra showing harpist Charlotte Tinsley - because I have the harp Charlotte used when she first worked with Spike.
ted.hering 19 Feb : 11:44 Hi, Glenn, Yes, sometimes Spike had has secretary sign his letters... so the letterhead doesn't prove the signature is really Spike's. Can you make a scan of your letter? I can probably identity the signature.
ted.hering 19 Feb : 11:37 Hi, Jaime! The Perez Prado number appears on the Paramount VHS, "A Spike Jones Musical Wreck-We-Um." Unfortunately the Art Tatum clip has never been issued, but the segment appeared on YouTube about a year ago. It might still be there.
countrydobro 18 Feb : 16:26 I found the answer to my question..."In a Persian Market."
