This undated negative is from 1955 (since the flags aren’t lining the walk to Tomorrowland yet). This little tyke in the mouse ears is picture perfect. I will be posting more from his trip over the next few days. WHY I CONTINUE TO BLOG: A lady named Barb emailed me that the saxophonist on the right was her father-in-law. His name was Bernie Flymen and he played both sax and clarinet in the Disneyland band the first 5 years the park was opened. He was also in Desi Arnaz’s band on “ Love Lucy.” A million thanks to Barb for giving me this info, and my condolences on Bernie’s recent passing.
See more vintage and contemporary Disneyland Tomorrowland photos at my main website.
That is very cool that you got a bit of personal information about Bernie Flymen...once in a while I will purchase something on ebay from a person who worked at the park in the 50's or 60's, and I am always tempted to ask them a million questions!
