[net.music] TP GENUS Error

srm@packard.UUCP (SR Marcovici) (01/22/85)

I'm pretty sure I've found an error in the Genus editon which I'd
like to have confirmed by all you TP buffs out there. The following is
a paraphrase of the original question, but it does capture the full,
original meaning:

What instrument did Tom Smothers play in the Smothers Brothers
nightclub act?

The answer given is: Upright Bass (fiddle).

Now, I KNOW that brother Dick has more recently (since their first TV
appearances in the 60s) been the Bass player, with Tom playing the
guitar. I doubt that things were different in their night-club days.
Can anyone confirm this?

I always remember Tom playing the guitar on the show though he may have
tried to play the upright bass as part of a routine.
