Re: _AVALON LOUNGE_ Open 24 hours
Oh dear! Brook and Judy, let me sit down and catch my breath. Phew. That was hard work.
During the late 50s and early 60s I was doing the nightclub circuit in Auckland as a compere and floor-show organizer. Those clips brought back old memories of dancing the night away between shows.
Brings to mind the line, "What I once used to do all night, now takes me all night to do once."
In those days, the Go-Go dancers were the in thing. They performed with such energy that the girls could only do one or two numbers then they'd have to take a break while two others would replace them.
Take a look at this clip of a Chuck Berry performance of "Johnny B. Goode" - it makes me feel exhausted just watching.
