Who?  What?  Where?  When?

Any ideas?



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 

     According to the back of this postcard, Bob Appleton played string bass and trumpet and his permanent address was Shavertown, PA.  The postmark isn't readable, but his note on the card indicates he traveled coast to coast playing music after discharge from the service.
       Does Bob Appleton turn up in anyone's discographies?  Did he play in jazz or dance bands in the 40s? 
 
 



 

This English card was written to the Reynolds Agency in Sheffield and signed simply Tripp.
"Tripp" must be "the King of Saxophonists" himself.  The youngest memeber of the trio is playing a Stroh violin. 

      Did the Trippellos make any records?   Do they show up in any histories of British music hall performers?   What was the Great Levy's Famous Triple Whirlwind?
 
 
 
 


 

If you have any information on Bob Appellton or the Trippellos

we'd love to learn more.
