Joe Perrino & The Mellotones
Revision as of 08:25, 20 December 2021 by Jason.Kreitzer (talk | contribs) (Lounge music isn't rock and it doesn't really qualify as "pop" either.)
Band Zappa played in from November 1961 to early 1962...
I wore a white dinner jacket and bow tie and black pants and sat on a bar stool and played the electric guitar. I got so sick of it that I quit, put the guitar in the case, stuck it behind the sofa and didn't touch it for eight months.
In the world of 'professional entertainment,' ... I was working weekends with a four-piece lounge band called Joe Perrino and the Mellotones, at Tommy Sandi's Club Sahara in San Bernardino.
