[4] The Mariners, actually (original owner along with Lester Smith, 1977-81). He was buddies with Leo Durocher, who also toured with him with the USO a couple of months after Japan surrendered in WWII...
I always loved him as Red Nichols in the "Five Pennies" and as Hans Christian Andersen. White Christmas wasn't bad either.
His wife wrote most of his material.
