Semi-urgent request on behalf of a friend who manages bands: Anybody out
there know whether Tommy Scott, one-time producer of Them, is still with
us? And if so, how to get in touch?

I had the privilege of writing his obituary for the Cincinnati Enquirer
newspaper. Wish we had the Nancy comic here. Gene grew up in Cinti,
and formed the Casinos here. His two brothers and other group members
still live here. I always loved that song, "Then You Can Tell Him
Goodbye", but didn't know much about Gene and the Casinos. My
research revealed what a great person he was. Also, it has opened my
eyes to the fact that a lot of rock and roll recordings originated from here,
i.e. King Records and Fraternity Records. I'm sure there's more. Yeah,
I know, it's not L.A. nor NYC but I still find it interesting.
