| Hi Mike,
This is really just part 1 of a long discussion but I've the oportunity over the years to talk to alot of guys that knew Dominic very well and his methods.
Guys like:
Zeke Zarchy , Buddy Childers
Tony Terran , Ray and Joe Trisari
Mickey McMahon ( Lawrence Welk ) , Jack Sheldon
Graham Young ( Henry Mancini ), Frank Beach
Johnny Zell , Jay Diversa
Jack Laughbach , Denny Christianson
John Audino , Nelson Hatt
Pete and Conte Candoli , Buddy Powers
Maury Harris , Ray Anthony
Shorty Sherock , Bob Reeves
Bert Herrick
Bill Peterson
Dalton Smith
Paul Hubinon
Ollie Mitchell
Steve Madaio
Not all of these guys played Calicchio's exclusivly and of course some have passed on, but they were all frequent guests at the Hollywood Shop thru the 60's and 70's and since Dominic was not a big note taker like Bach and Schilke. they gave me valuble insights into what went on in the shop and his thought process
A " Dominic " disscusion was always entertaining and informative, with everyone telling their favorite story.
Everyone, if you don't know who some of these guys are , do your homework and find out. These were the guys that you've heard over and over thru-out the years on movies, TV, Radio and Recordings.
