DINO,
Westchester County Center had some half-way decent Car Shows too. Kind of a junior version of the Auto Show at the New York Coliseum..
Saw the McCoys at the County Center,,didn’t know until years later that Rick Derringer
was the lead guitarist..I guess I was too busy unwrapping my bubblegum wrapper.
Bubblegum-pop era….’Hang On Sloopy’.
I know you must have visited “The Village Barn’ in Mahopac,,,or ‘Gigi’s’ in Armonk..
Or possibly the ‘Rob Roy’ at Armonk Bowl…..
C’Mon Dino,,,Play us some Rock-n-Roll 😀
Paul,,,,,Who played in ‘Roller Boogie’? She made the ‘Fore N’ Aft’ somewhat famous for
15 minutes 😮

Don, could not agree with you more there is only one Billy Casey and alot of guys from Yonkers, NY always appreciated everything that he did for us.I can say even though he is Irish he never really went out with us to put a buzz on but street racing now that was a different story……. Riz~~

DINO,
‘Correcto mundo’ on Ms. Linda ‘The Exorcist” Blair…Think she got the Fore N’ Aft in a little trouble..Wasn’t even 17 yet (in 1975) and was being served ‘cocktails’ in the bar..Gave the
bar its 15-minutes of ‘National Fame’…Remember right after that, the place was a zoo,
always a ton-of-people their..The best advertising gimmick…Good press is good, but
‘Bad Press’ is great…Only if Joe and Chet would have ‘got it’,,,,,,,AHHH,,,Get Sox & Martin
versus Grumpy in 1970,,loose money for that one event,,,but make money the rest of the
summer 😀
Saw the facebook thread,,,Band Poster way back,,,August 1977…Wednesday Night,,
.25 cent drinks until 9:00, then Ladies Nite begins…Juice Nite Thursdays,,juice drinks
.25 cents too :o,,,,What was the Vodka of choice back then,,,’SMIRNOFF’,,,Now you’ve got about a dozen of what we call ‘Fashion Brands’.
Paul,,,’Would you like a wedge of lemon in that sir??” 😆
