Anthony "Zebo" DiPerro first instilled a love for barbershop harmony in Tom Palamone. The two were part of a quartet that rattled the walls in the back room of Zebo's Pittsburgh grocery store in 1938. Palamone sang lead, Harry "Chummy" Conte was tenor, Zebo sang baritone, and "Turp" Marcanello was the bass. Zebo knew hundreds of songs and quite a few parodies that he taught the quartet.
