SCOTT ANTHONY

        Scott Anthony began playing the banjo at the  age of eleven after he had had heard another boy play banjo at summer camp.  He was immediately hooked. Scott was selected to appear on Ted Mack's Amateur Hour in 1962.
        Anthony moved to San Francisco in 1974 and worked for almost two years playing a solo banjo, pedal-bass, drum machine with vocals five nights a week at a fairly up-scale restaurant chain. After this he accidentally heard of an opening for the intermission spot at Turk Murphy's club, Earthquake McGoon's and held that job for 8 years until McGoon's on Pier 39 in San Francisco closed. 
        Since 1984 he has led the Golden Gate Rhythm Machine, as well performing with Bob Schulz's Frisco Jazz Band
