Lou Jacobs

Jacob, with no "s" is the correct spelling.

No matter how you spell it, when I think of the best of the best, I think of L O U !!

Actually, I think Jacobs with the "s" is correct....
There's a nice tribute to him at:
http://www.clownalley.net/ from a few days ago.
I think I've heard this spelling issue debated before....
but when Dolly Jacobs and other family names use the "s".... and when the Felds called him Lou Jacobs... that can go a long way to either perpetuate an incorrect spelling... or indeed be the accurate way to pronounce the name.
Perhaps it is a German tradition... or a more "proper" way to use the surname in "old school" entemology.
I for one would love to hear from others.... maybe Dolly could weigh in on this for us.

I believe the other performer is 'Knucklehead'! A consumate performer and great 'alley-mate'.
