A New Link to Our Old Bass Player

Our bass guitar player, Marc Levine, has had a truly wonderful and varied career, which started with the Stony Brook People when he was only 16 years old. You can check out his bio on the link to his present group, The Fundamentals, in the Link Section of this blog. Now, with Marc’s permission, we are including a new link for one of Marc’s accomplishments: his role as the bass guitar player in Ralph Bakshi’s 1981 animated movie, “American Pop”. When the clip starts, a guy is walking down a street, playing the harmonica. He stops in front of a building, where a girl is standing on a balcony. A tall fellow, with a floppy hat joins her on the balcony. That tall fellow is our Marc, and his own voice is dubbed in for the character. The clip is about 10 minutes long and it contains a lot of 60’s music that we have all come to love. So, please check out A New Link to Our Old Bass Player in the Link section of this blog. Rock On Marc!

Thanks, Joy, for the kind words.
Many people view me as a cartoon, especially my kids, so this just reinforces their beliefs.
I remember going to the premier of this film at the Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Blvd. It didn't do as well as some of Ralph Bakshi's other projects, but I still get a royalty check every now and then. Hooray for mailbox money!
