OK heres my 1st 2010 story.. Its about My friend Hollywood Agent Marv
Tabolsky..
Inn 1976 I had come back from spending a Month in Hollywood and opened a
Booking agency repping
on camera people musicians, voice over and models and various talent for
commercials etc... Its also where I started
Hollywood dream factory® after my friend Lee ( whose son is #12 on OHIO
State Football) threw 1920s
Photoplays on my desk and said you should be able to sell this since
your into show biz... So I did and here I am
30+ years later... I was like 19 when I started.... Anyway I contacted
the big agencys to do split commison
bookings with like william Morrie, eileen Ford and the like in case
clients wanted major stars or union talent.
Marve was with Recency artists who were Huge at the time// He actually
produced the Bill Cosby albums
and you will see his name on back credited.. But tonight I googled Marv
and discovered he passed away in 2006
So ther was a Link on YOUTUBE where his family did a tribute to him
composed of Home movies and
Clips... I had met Marv in person in Detroit and meadobrook hall as he
brought Gabe Kaplan there.. I sat next to him and was speechless at 19
as he was a super agent and I couldnt say a word.. I would just lean
over and say wow Marv I am so happy to meet you and bee here.... I think
I said that Like 80 time/.//
Anyway... he was into jazz and know the newport jazz people well and so
we talked about that.... and I was
almost abele to get Jay Leno a corporate gig for 3500.00 But they
passed... I had a 3/4 video tape of him on Carson and some 8x10s I
still have the letter from Marv and a YOUNG Jay leno 8x10.......
BUT when I saw ths home Movie I was floored when I saw him with Elton
John and Henry Mancini...
I loved Mancini......Funny a friend bought a stero receiver that was
Haank mancinins also... small world..
anyways google Marvin Tabolsky and get the you tube its called like
granpas memorys
Its very cool..... Marve was a teacher to me... I booked a
ventriloquist act called tetter and mcdonald for Elger plumbing
convention In Dallas... they requested the puppeteers to do talking
Toilet seats...
they did it and i thing it was like a 7500.00 gig plus airfare..
showbiz what a life....
