[78-L] Request.

[Dan Van Landingham]

I've known a few musicians from the Hollywood studio scene who have since passed 
on such as 

Skeets Herfurt,Al Hendrickson and John Best.With their respective deaths,I no 
longer have those
who told me just how things were back then.The only one I know of who is still 
alive is guitarist
Bob Bain.The only other person who comes to mind was the late Nick Pelico,a 
drummer who was in the Hollywood studios for years.His main claim to fame was 
his being a childhood friend of
Bobby Hackett and a forgotten tenor sax player named Bernie Billings.He liked 
me:I could do a 

half assed impression of Bobby Hackett when I played cornet.That was around 30 
years ago.

Although it comes in the form of sad news,  I'm grateful to be able to read 
the obits and thank those of you who alert the rest of us to the passings of 
musicians and people from the world of sound preservation.

Sometimes the poster assumes that the rest of us already know the person in 
question.  Often,  I don't (esp. collectors and academics)  and would 
respectfully ask that when someone posts an obit that they tell us a little 
bit about that person and what they had done during their life.

Thanks from

Taylor
