I was in the St. Pete area for a number of years working in the home organ industry. It was a shame that he just couldn't find work anymore for what he did.

On a TV interview he actually begged for work. He also sold some of his organs just because he needed the money. If I remember correctly it was the Technics line that he had later become associated with.

cassp: I performed at the Bilmar on trumpet with a big band. They used to have a dixie band there twice a week.
