I should have posted the link to the large photo. Here it is:

http://www.riverwalk.org/images/bob_crosby_band.jpg

Thanks for volunteering to ID the rest of these guys.

By the way, the photo is for an article on the 100th birthday of Nappy
Lamare. I had been in touch with the family and the information one
finds in books is incorrect because Lamare often lied about his age.

It would seem hard to try to mID in so small a picture, but the back row

X looks a lot like a young Maxie Herman who worked a short while with 
the band. He wasa later the President of  Local 47 in L.A. Twake o other

possibles to consider as guesses would be Doc Rando or Noni Bernardi if 
the pic was from the laterhalf of the 1930's but it is just too small an

image to get any good look .
My best guess,
Don Ingle
