I heard from James “Jimmy Soul” Holvay of the great Chicago show band, The Mob (Whoozdis photo #2) who played the Pop House once or twice.  Jimmy identified each of the Mob-sters for me and provided more information for the book.  From left to right they are: Gary Beisbier, “Big Al” Herrrera, Mike Sistak, Jimmy “Soul” Holvay, Tony Nedza, “Little Artie” Herrera, Bobby “the Cheeze” Ruffino, Jimmy Ford.  The Mob recorded a number of original songs… “Open The Door”, “I Dig Everything About You” and “Give It To Me,” all penned by Holvay and Beisber.  They also composed million selling records for the Buckinghams including “Kind of a Drag”, “Don’t You Care”, “Hey Baby” and “Susan.”
