Borrah Minevitch and his Harmonica Rascals

THIS IS FUN TO WATCH!

X-D Take the time 2C it! X-D

Spike Jones wasn't the only purveyor of crazy novelty music in the first half of the 20th century.

Russian-born Borrah Minevitch led a zany combo that were very popular from the late 1920s to Minevitchs' untimely death in the '50s.

Space Age Pop sez, "the novelty of a whole harmonica band, using the full range from huge bass to tiny alto harmonica, made a terrific impression. Within a year, Minevitch and his Harmonica Rascals were one of the hottest acts on the vaudeville circuit."

They even featured a midget, Johnny Puleo, who was featured prominently in their on-stage shenanigans, as videos of the group on YouTube attest.

'POWER VACS & HANGERS'

"The 'two sides' always clashing and spatting @

each other for dominance of

the souls and lives of "women/children/embryos & viable tissue".

[ it's ironic & puzzling why it's called the 'LOVEJOY' Surgicenter?! ]
