Subject: JOHNNY PULEO and the HARMONICA GANG on You Tube

The clip on You Tube was quite memorable.  Johnny was absolutely one of
the finest "mines" that ever lived.  It is true that the harmonica was
secondary but in the early days of the Rascals, the music was very
professional, in fact great.  But the music faded and the comedy took
over.

I too busted up laughing at these clips: it was every bit as much fun to
participate in as it was to watch.  I have an audio clip of Carl Ford,
Jo Jo, Mike Tedeschi, Bob Herndon and I on stage with Johnny, in a
huddle, doing the big number "Peg" when Johnny expelled some gas.. all
hell broke loose and culminated in all of us being unable to play from
uncontrollable laughter for what seemed like hours but in reality was
minutes.  You can imagine the roar from the audience.

I'm sure there are other ex Puleo guys on here that can tell more...

Oh, has anyone heard who will be the Friday night headliner at the SPAH
Convention in Milwaukee?  Maybe Bobbie knows....
