USO SHOW continued.,.,
Music for the show is by the "Three Pass
engers,” a trio headed-by Don Venable on
the piano. The boys got their nane because
they have an easy riding kiiif of music in
an unusual combination. The other two
members are Denny Brocks, who switches
from guitar to banjo, and Vince Monaco,
who switches from guitar to drums. This
makes it a kind of Do-It-Yourself rail
road with passengers becoming swtichmen,
blit it all adds up for fun. Don is from
Pasadena; had his own dance combo while
he studied at UCLA; and, then did a hitch
in the Army, He also writes music arrang- 1
ements for other trios and combos. Denny
comes from Long Beach, and is a student
at the State College in his home town.He
has been playing West Coast spots since
1958. Vince comes from San Gabriel and
has been attending classes at Pasadena
City and Los Angelas State to get a teach
ing certificate. He nut in a short hitch
in the Air Force and has been working as
