I rememember as a young boy watching what I thought was "The Harmonicats" featuring a midget named Johnny Puleo on various variety shows in the middle/late 50s. According to Murad's website they were called the Harmonica Rascals. Great stuff!
For you doubting kids out there, these guys were hilarious on B&W TV (snow and all)- back in the days of outdoor antennas and L-I-V-E broadcasts. BAck then every show had a house band where music was involved. This is great footage. Thanks lots. Dave

This is coming off a kinescope I take it? I became aware of the Harmonicats through my grandfather...I'm 38 so they're a touch "before my time". :D

I hate to have to ask... but how much of what we're hearing are they actually playing?
Everything, to begin with... but then we hear piano, horns, a rhythm guitar, standup bass...

Thanks for this. Looks like an omitted scene from the Sopranos.
