the Clock." He quit the Comets in late 1955 to form The Jodimars along
with fellow Comets Dick "Richards" Bocelli and Marshall Lytle. After
the Jodimars broke up, he became a pit boss at Caesar's Palace in Las
Vegas. In 1987 he rejoined The Comets and as of late 1999 continues to
perform and record with the band. He is also a popular session
musician.
