Every time I've seen the Pops on TV, it was Louis Bellson playing

You would think that a band of that calibre would always have a top
guy on set.
I think Louie's busy. :)
Umm, sorry, I missed something. Louis didn't pass away while I wasn't
looking, did he? He wasn't too busy to play the gigs I saw (though
admittedly he was singled out, perhaps as a guest artist? Quite a
coincidence that every time I catch the Boston Pops it's LB on set?)
The last time I saw him he was doing fine, but he's always had many
irons in the fire, and would probably not be willing to give up his own
interests to be a regular with the pops.
