St. Louis musician and Pierce Arrow collector Stan Kann passed away yesterday. He is remembered for his many appearances on "the tonight show" with Johnny Carson in the 70s and 80s, trying to demonstrate his antique vacuum cleaner collection and gagets, somehow things always went wrong, and that's where the fun began. He also appeared on "the Gary Shandling show"
Stann was a fine theatre organist, played at the St. Louis Fox theatre for over 50 years and toured the nation and the world playing concerts.
He was very fond of Pierce Arrow cars, owned two early thirties models. I'll miss Stan, he was a joy to be with and could discuss many topics with ease.
Stan was a member of the St. Louis CCCA
