The marimba Jeff got from Marsh belonged to me until I sold it to Marsh about 1970. It was way too large to fit in the piano bar at the Kahiki where we played so I used a standard size marimba at the restaurant. The photo of the trio here is of Marsh Padilla on electric bass at left, in the back is vibraphonist John Dragu (Dragoo?), and at right guitarist Don Hales, who was the teacher of Leroy Plymale who joined the band in 1966. -Don Browne LaBelle, Florida
