Are any ofthe Dellwoods still around?
My mother is the birth daughter of Mike Ellis, 1st tenor. She didn't know that anyone still knew about his group. If anyone knows of any stations that may still play any of their songs, please respond! thank you
I play "Chapel On A Hill" on my Cruisin' program on KSKQ. Always loved that song!

I was so surprised when I stumbled upon this site. My father is Saul Zeskand, he passed away 2 April's ago but my Uncle / Godfather, Vic Buccellato is still alive and well, living in FL
mad twists is far superior to the other two lps-they are awful in comparison except for she lets me watch her mom and pop fight
