Lambert Bartak
Organist at Rosenblatt Field in Omaha, until recently the long-time home of the College World Series and the Omaha Royals, Cardinals, and Golden Spikes -- via the Omaha World-Herald. He played accordion on WOW-AM and did early gigs with Johnny Carson. He was famously ejected during a game in 1988 for playing the "Mickey Mouse" theme during an on-field dispute. (He wasn't doing it on purpose! Oh well.)
Ed Pincus

Robert Lee "Bobby" Parker
Guitarist, singer, and songwriter -- via ultimateclassicrock.com. He wrote the Motwon classic "You Got What It Takes," and his riff on "Watch Your Step" was used later by both Led Zeppelin and the Beatles. Not too shabby!
