The Juke Box Puppet Band members, Tito, Didi, Grace, Tex, and Rex were created by Craig Marin and Olga Felgemacher. Marin and Felgemacher together created "Flexitoons," a puppet company. For years, the Flexitoons have starred on many 80's shows, such as "Cartoony Vision."
The band lives inside the juke box, located in Schemer's Arcade in Shining Time Station, where they play music for nickels. Nobody outside the juke box knows about the band, and eventhough they live in a juke box, they have abandon the urge to travel. But they still remember their days on the road, in songs such as "Chatanooga Choo Choo."
Tito, played by Jonathan Freeman, is the band leader and is known to be a master of all keyboard instruments. "Grace The Base," as she is known is the base player in the juke box band. Her voice is played by Vaneese Thomas. Didi is the drummer, played by Olga Felgemacher, and is the most energeitc member of the band. Tex and Rex Boy each play the same guittar, and are identicle twins. Alan Semok plays Tex, and Craig Marin plays Rex. But the twins' singing voice is actually Rory Dodd.
Did You Know? - There is a third "Boy" brother. He was called "Flex," and can be seen bouncing around the stage with an electric guitar, and can be posed as Tex, or Rex.
