Danny Zip (Zipfel), of the Bay Bops, also released (with vocal group back-up) "Philly Stomp" b/w "Anna" on Coed Records in 1961. Another release by Danny, with Barney Zarzana helping him out, was "Old Dan Tucker" b/w "The Other Side" as by Dino (Danny paying homage to his idol Dean Martin) on Regalia Records circa early '60s.
In 2008, the four original Bay Bops (Danny Zipfel, George Taylor Jr., Bobby Serraro and Barney Zarzana) reunited and all saw each other, for the first time since their breakup in 1958 and performed at a show in New Jersey. Danny Zip and George Taylor Jr. has since passed on.

Left out - that Danny Zip and group recording of "Philly Stomp" b/w. "Anna" came out on Coed Records as by Guy Joey.
Sad to say that Barney Zarzana, of the Bay Bops, passed away last year. Bobby Serrao, of the group is still with us.
Out of the 8 Zarzana brothers - 4 of them were a doowop group. Benny Zarzana is the only brother left. He sang lead, 2nd tenor and baritone - bass with his brothers.
If you want to hear the tight harmony, of the four brothers, go on youtube and enter "Island Of Love Zarzana Brothers." I tasped them on a small, portable tape recorder, and it sounded so good that i put it out on my "Thery Sang In Brooklyn" LP.
