Eggs knew of my background in "Skip Tracing" for the Finance Companies. He asked to see what I could do. Within 2 weeks, I located her, passed the info on to Eggs, and he to Ernie.<br />Got a really nice note of thanks.<br /><br />Mike (the man of many talents & Jobs) KuzmaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19041693.post-77180021053739233732013-04-12T16:35:54.948-04:002013-04-12T16:35:54.948-04:00Hi Tom, I have the very, very, very slightest conn...Hi Tom, I have the very, very, very slightest connection to Ernie Kovacs, a true comedic genius. When I was about 12 to 14 years of age, I took piano lessons from Eddie Hatrak, Ernie's musical director. Eddie lived off of Park Ave. in Hamilton Twp. At the time, I didn't realize how great Ernie would become, or I would have had the wherewithal to ask Eddie about Ernie. I think, possibly, he had a morning show, out of Philadelphia, at that time. Not certain. Anybody know?

Like Ralph my favorite was the Narobo trio. I remember his accident. i had just returned from overseas and was stationed about 95 miles from L.A.I had driven that same freeway that Ernie died on the day before. The L.A Examiner had a picture of the accident. Rrnie sill had his cigar onhis fingers. I think that next to Johnnie Carson Ernie had the most talentof all T.V.
