| If you were in Los Angeles around the 1930'a or 1940's you may remember a popular band called The Don Ramon Cruz Orchestra. This is a very important photo from our family archives since Don Ramon Cruz is my father (1912 - 1996). He's the one on the right of the photo in the dark jacket,. We need your help. Can you identify any of the other band members in the photo? If so, please contact me by e-mail at RayCruzer@yahoo.com. |
One of the band members was Andy Russell (Andres Rabajos 1920 - 1992) who became the drummer in order to earn his keep as he doubled as a singer for the band. You may learn more about Andy Russell and Don Ramon Cruz in the book Barrio Rhythms authored by Steven Loza. You can buy the book Barrio Rhythms, which also mentions my brother Richard Cruz (1943 - 1993), an activist attorney in Los Angeles in the 1970's and 1980's, at Amazon.com. |
