Talk:The Jodimars

message: Original line-up from 1953 until the last DECCA Session in September 1954:
* Joey-----> "Jo" D'Ambrosia/Ambrose aka Joseph D'Ambrosio - Tenor saxophone 
* Dick------> "Di" Boccelli aka Dick Richards - vocals (ex-drummer) (physical education professor) [real Christian name is Richard]. Thanks, Marshall. :-)
* Marshall-> "Mars" Lytle alias Tommy Page, double bass
From onwards 1955 the following members joined the band: 
* Jim Buffington - drums 
* Bob Simpson "to tinkle/tickle the ivories" - piano
* Charles "Chuck" Hess - session guitarist on request
These three guys were NEVER members of the said Comets...   Stephan KŒNIG 18:10, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Jodimars had two drummers, although Dick Richards sang more often than he drummed. Daffner joined the group in 1955 and left in 1958. Buffington was only with the Jodimars for their first recording session in 1955. 23skidoo 13:09, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

: Use of the word "formerly" is incorrect in this context, however, so I reverted the change. 23skidoo 00:18, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I have no idea why I created this article as "Jodimars" in the first place since the correct name of the band is The Jodimars. I finally got around to rectifying this. 23skidoo 04:04, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
