Title: Arnie Ginsburg...not the DJ
Post by: Eric Aniversario on September 23, 2006, 12:55:26 AM
Does anyone know whatever became of Arnie Ginsburg, the guy who recorded with Jan Berry as Jan & Arnie before he left and it became Jan & Dean.  I'm not referring to the DJ Arnie "Woo-Woo" Ginsburg....different guy...

Uh, yeah . . . I interviewed Arnie extensively for my Jan Berry Biography (a work in progress). Probably Arnie's longest Jan Berry interview, ever. . . . and Arnie rarely grants interviews.

Arnie became disillusioned with the music business very early on.

Arnie ended up in the School of Architecture and Design at USC . . . along with Dean Torrence . . . all through the hit-making years for Jan & Dean.

Arnie attended a reunion of The Barons at Jan's family home in Bel-Air in 1980. Great photos exist from that gathering.
