Peanuts Hacko: Who Is Louise Tobin’s Second Husband?

Peanuts Hacko was an American big band musician. His primary instrument was the clarinet but he sometimes played the saxophone.

Hacko was born in Syracuse, New York, United States and moved to New York City in 1939; he played tenor saxophone with Will Bradley, Tommy Reynolds and Joe Marsala until 1940.

After a brief time with Charlie Spivak, he joined the Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band where he served in Europe during World War II. During this time, Peanuts began to concentrate on the clarinet because he did a lot of marching in the sand, which was awkward with the tenor.

He was featured in Miller’s hard-driving versions of Stealin Apples and Mission to Moscow.
