The most recent, updated edition of the author's comprehensive, richly illustrated biography and history of Spike Jones and His Orchestra.
Of interest to Stooge fans are two members of Spike's gang, whose professional history with the Jones orchestra during the '50s and '60s is covered in detail...
- Peter James, aka Bobby Pinkus. A Ted Healy stooge from May 1927 - December 1928 in the Shuberts' Broadway revue A NIGHT IN SPAIN, James/Pinkus worked with Shemp Howard, Larry Fine, Moody Braun and Lou Warren in that show. He was present when Larry met Ted and Shemp in Chicago in March 1928.
- Paul 'Mousie' Garner. Also a Healy stooge, Mousie joined Ted from January 1931 thru July 1932, working with him, Jack Wolf and Dick Hakins in two Broadway shows, THE GANG'S ALL HERE and BILLY ROSE'S CRAZY QUILT. Mousie rejoined Ted from 1936 - 1937, working alongside fellow stooges Sammy Glasser (aka Sammy Wolfe) and Dick Hakins. Mousie was a guest for several of The Three Stooges Conventions in the early 1990s.
