Tufts Beelzebubs
In the fall of 1962, a handful of Tufts men gathered to sing in the basement of West Hall. They named themselves “Jumbo’s Disciples: The Beelzebubs” and prepared an original version of Winter Wonderland for Tufts’ annual Winter Sing. By the end of the 1963-’64 academic year, the Bubs had recorded their first album, performed with the Boston Pops, and traveled as far as New York City. Throughout the late sixties and early seventies, the Bubs’ popularity grew on Tufts’ campus and on college campuses throughout New England.
