Also, if anyone noticed Dimitrios Pappas the guy with the ponytail who accompanied Smokey on the grand piano... the Philly guy who was part of the musical ensemble in the SITSOM documentary, and I also believe toured for a time with The Funks...I recall he had an exceptionally large head...and was disappointed when his head was blocking out Joe Hunter in the film as I recall......
