Sorry to go dredging, but the recent threads on Israel Crosby and Brian Torff vis a vis good bass players who you don't hear about made me go and search BEN TUCKER's name and this came up.
Not to unduly bust your bubble, the Schoolhouse Rock things were written by Bob Dorough not Ben Tucker.
Ben still gets royalties for his contribution to the minor blues COMIN' HOME BABY as recorded by Herbie Mann and many others.
And is still gigging around Savannah and Hilton Head....
