Marshall Lytle, R. I. P.

Marshall Lytle, bass player for Comets and Jodimars, dies at 79: When rock ’n’ roll pioneer Bill Haley refused to give three members of his Comets band $50-a-week raises in 1955, he opened the door for those talented musicians to walk out and create what became a Las Vegas lounge act legend — the Jodimars.
