Leopold George Selker, Jr.
Leopold George Selker, Jr. was born 1919. He was the son of Leopold George Selker, Sr.(28 Sep 1891 - 10 Dec 1955) and Katherine V. Hartle (1894 - 01 Sep 1970).
He is photographed with his drum set at a promo shoot. His son indicated that Leo played in Blue Baron's Band out of Cleveland and Philadelphia. He also played with Doc Weaver's Pennwood Orchestra and in a trio that backed Janet Blair (from Indian Falls Gap, PA). She was a big singer with Les Brown and later like Patti Page went the Hollywood route.
The photo was found in the Frances Philomena Selker Collection. Leo autographed this photograph for his cousin Mary Eugina McDonald and her husband Arthur Murosky (my grandparents).
