I saw his obituary the day he died.  I think he was born in 1940.  If not 1940, then 1941.  I can't find it now, nor any biography with his birth date.  But, both he and Little Joe Harris were professionals in their mid to late teens in 1957-58, with Joe singing with Little Joe and The Moroccos for Robert West, and Ronnie Abner was with The Vibratones.  If they were each 16 or 17 then, that would have had them being born in 1940 or 1941.  That would make them about 5 years older than I, which seems about right from my memory.  I remember seeing a poster of The Peps in 1964, and they looked to be in their early 20s.  Ronnie looked about 23-24.
