Composer ("Remember Pearl Harbor") and conductor, educated on
scholarship at Ohio University. He organized his first dance band
while in college, eventually opening the College Inn, featuring his
orchestra. With the Ohio U. band, he toured the USA, appearing on radio
and introducing the program "So You Want to Lead a Band", which became
his trademark. He would often read poetry during the broadcasts, and
even recorded a spoken-work album of his recitations. Joining ASCAP in
1964, he also composed a number of other songs including "Until
Tomorrow", "Hawaiian Sunset", "Tell Me You Love Me", "Dance of Mexico",
and "Wanderin'".
