His boyish visage and brash charm also won him spots on The Rifleman and the Donna Reed Show, and he once sang with Milton Berle in a Las Vegas nightclub.

Bobby Gass, a Harvard senior, was classically trained and brings all the precision and subtlety of refined technique to the brash vitality of the rock-world which he seems also to have absorbed.
