celebrated in the documentary of that name, Scrumbly also founded The
Distractions, one of the first a capella new wave groups. In 1984, Scrumbly
helped found The Jesters Vocal Trio. For 14 years, the trio has faithfully
recreated the glorious harmonies of the 1920's and 1930's. A winner of the
Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle award, several San Francisco Bay Area Gold
Awards, and a Dean Goodman Choice award, Scrumbly also had the honor of
having a city holiday named for him on the occasion of his 50th birthday.
