‘‘ We were there in the
beginning when the gardens
were just planted. Now,
they’re getting there! ‘‘— Don Bestor
as musical director for Jack Benny’s radio shows in the late
1930s and into the 1940s.
“I was sports-minded, too, and I would come into the
house in my baseball cleats or football cleats and sit down to
play the piano wearing my cleats,” he said.
He studied music at the Berklee College of Music in Boston
for two years and then spent 27 years on the road as a musician.
His group, called Trademark, consisted of five men for
18 years, “and then for nine years we added a singer, a girl. I
ended up marrying her,” Bestor said.
Don and Debbie, together since 1982, recently played at the
Quilted Giraffe restaurant in Vero Beach.
