This has been all over some other boards, I thought I'd post it here.

And be sure to stay with it until the 1:13 mark.

[Old Sarge]

THAT was HILARIOUS!

Talk about performance art!

[Cagey]

I think the Bass player had a small part in “Reefer Madness”.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

That was random. My wife walked in when it was getting towards the end and the Bassist had his little epileptic seizure and couldn’t stop laughing.

That bass player was rockin out, mang!!

[Rb ver. 2.0]

That’s pretty much my style when I play bass in church on Sunday mornings.

[Larry Lucido]

I didn’t realize Jon Lovitz played bass. His hairpiece stayed on quite well.

[Cagey]

I’m stopping by and visiting your church!

[Larry Lucido]

My fantasy has always been to be taken captive by seven marimba queens.

[Cagey]

LOL!

[Graybeard58]

That is one hip cat! Way ahead of his time.

[Vision]

It does look like Reefer Madness.

Did a little research, the guy's name was Frank DeNunzio Sr., of Hershey, Pa., and he died in 2005 and apparently was playing the slap bass in local bands right up until he kicked the bucket.

As far as the band, citing Wikipedia, Reg Kehoe and His Marimba Queens played from about 1938 to 1955 and was a hugely popular act, starting and ending each yearly tour with appearances at Hersheypark in Hershey, Pa. In between, they played up and down the East Coast and throughout the Midwest, traveling by bus ala the Big Bands and making the rounds of all the major dance halls -- including in Chicago The Aragon, Willowbrook (Oh Henry Ballroom), Melody Mill, Midway Gardens and Trianon. The woman playing the marimba next to the maracas player in the film is Reg's wife, Fern Marie, who died in July 2006.

I’m 62 and that act looked vaguely familar, I may have seen them on t.v. as a kid but we didn’t get a t.v. until 1955.

I’ve also visited Hersheypark in Hershey, Pa. but not until 1963, still, it looks familar. Wish I had a better memory.

Funny. Reminds of ‘Marty’ plaiyng his guitar in ‘Back to the Future’. Before his time definitely.

[Landru]

Here's a video in response to the one you sent me, FBD.
Rock-on!

Now, for a little *conspiracy* thought.
The Reg Kehoe character (front & center)??

...sure looks an awful lot like a young LBJaaaa.

[Krankor]

This one’s kinda bizarre, too.

If you play World of Warcraft, you'll recognize the dance here......

Somebody I work with who I showed that to asked me if it was Les Claypool’s grandfather. :)
