Not Notable. No major releases (one unknown album in the 1950's) with hardly any Google hits outside this Wikipedia entry. Uncategorized and no sources, which doesn't need a encyclopedia article. semper fi — Moe  17:51, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep There are references, and one album and a crapload of singles is close enough to two albums to pass MUSIC in my book. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  19:50, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Andrew Lenahan. Also, he is associated with a notable record label. J Milburn 20:27, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I wrote the article. He's well known to people in a certain age group on the East Coast (U.S.). He was, by all accounts, an excellent piano player and showman. He had many singles and one album (perhaps more). He represents a certain type of artist/performer -- i.e., small-time piano player and lounge singer -- notably more successful than most. He composed at least three piano accordion solos: "The Silver Streak Polka," "The Helicopter Polka," and "Whisphering Willows." At least two of them were published c. 1953 by PostScript Music.

 * Weak Keep appears to be marginally notable, but only one source has him as aprimary subject. Note that Google really is worthless for topic like this.  Eluchil404 11:47, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
