bobrizzi,
My parents bought their home on Rose Drive, off 6N, in 1959 for $14,000,,the area was
nick-named ‘The North Yonkers’..Many “I” talians..The famous question from the general local population,,,”Are you in the Mafia”?…Our anwser would be..’But of course
we are,,,and who handles the commercial garbage (waste management) and cement distribution around here” 😆
The “Lake Lounge”,,out-lived Dover by almost 35 years…”The best meat in town”,,,not really,,as Rodney Dangerfield once said,,,’Low-grade dog-food”…Nothing was better than going to the ‘Lake Lounge”, and seeing your neighbors wife dance “topless”:o
.Don K,,You know Mark Hitt…I used to serve drinks to his sister Pam,,at ‘The Alpine Inn”
a little bar in Lake Secor,,back in 77’/78’…Nice girl,,and had a nice friend Donna Carbonera.
Never forgot how ‘Rat Race Choir’ broke my heart,,,we wanted them for our High School
Reunion at Lakeland High School,, but the ‘Choir” wanted way too much ‘cash’ $3500..???
I think that computes to about $85,000 in todays market…Nobody could play “Zeppelin” like them…..I think our high school committe had to go through the “CTA” (Creative Talent
Agency) to book them…another ‘connected’ business 😉
Paul,,,Just what was the ‘cover charge’ at ‘The Scrounge Lounge” 🙄

[don-kauer]

Het Paul, The Lake Lounge………That’s where Rizzi’s Girlfriend worked “Big T—-Y Kitty” 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆

[bobrizzi]

Donnie that was just between me and Casey…… wait a minute here is one from Yonkers,NY HOME OF SOME IRISH GUY WITH AN ORANGE CAR .The Club Paddock on Yonkers Ave down by the track.They tried to bring in some local rock groups did not work out so they brought back Good Golly Miss Molly who would come in around 11 pm and dance …… Riz (P.S. I was on the phone with Billy yesterday and told him what a B.B. you are but for some reason he likes you……)

[don-kauer]

Riz, Casey is my favorite “Mic”……Met him in the old days street racing (over 40 years ago) and we’ve been friends since….We talk at least one a week…….another subject……….Did you know a guitar player named Tony Feranda, worked as a manager in Sam Ash and lived in Yonkers…….Also a close friend of mine….Was in a few bands and one of the bands members name was “Silky”??????

[don-kauer]

Sorry to double up here but I thiught or some more stuff…………….Tony Feranda played in some real good local groups………Chalsea out of White Plains..Jimmy Carpanito, Artie “soul man Smith, Etc.. Also with the Mann Brothers…Thet had a long standing gig in the Holiday Inn in Mt. Kisco (Teddys) He also gigged with Ralph Perucci Lead Giutar and Joe Perucci Drums..White Plains boys……My cousins………That’s right I’m not all German….Half Sicilian………….

Lake Lounge History,
Didn’t everyones girlfriend work there at one time or another? 😆
Also, some of the names of the ‘professional dancers’ can rival some of the car names at Dover.
* ‘Goldilocks’ at the Lounge,,,’Goldilocks’ SS/HA 69′ Nova; Jay Hannsman (sorry Jay)
* ‘Creamsickle’ at the Lounge,,,’Creamsickle’, an orange G/SA 68′ Belvedere
Best name of any dancer,,’Gladys Getyourrocksoff’,,she must have been Russian 😆
Paul,,Make my ‘Stoli’s to go 😎 ‘Nostrovia’

[dinoKeymaster]

Its Rock …nor Rockettes..”He remembers the dancers names ?”. Stage III -Danbury ? nobody ? Also ….changing Main heading to include All ‘Metro’ Area Fairfield-Duchess-Putnam …not just Westchester. Like “hang-outs” we did Do things, other than race and build in the garage. Some crossed -over .Set up the “run” at the Hang-Out or “club”…..AND every ‘Watering Hole” in a 50 mile radius from Wingdale, on a Sunday, had Cars on trailers in their parking lots….wish we had some of those photos.A lot of places from Chicken joints to Pubs, had their business spiked from Dover customers.

Uncle Dino,
I see you properly added (3) more counties..Too many clubs/bars/lounges to name.
Of course at “The Lake Lounge”, I only went their for the ‘intellectual conversation’
The amazing things that those girls would ‘say’.
Stage III,,that wasn’t the little ‘go-go bar’ on the out-skirts of Danbury, was it??
Remember I said, earlier, a neighbors wife was a dancer…I will not mention the name, but one of my fathers racer-friend at his ‘West Road Amoco’ station in Carmel, his wife was a
‘Go-Go’ dancer in Connecticut (1969 circa)..That must be the place. …Bobby S. do you know who I am talking about.. 😮
Racing on the street, didn’t somebody get hurt real bad on Route 6, between the
Fore N’ Aft and the Connecticut border, the car launched into several cars at the Saab
Dealership on the east-bound side of Route 6???
Hate to say I did it too,,but I flat-towed my fathers SS/I 68′ Cuda to Route 100, out towards Millwood (heading out from White Hall Corners/Somers),,and raced a kid from Cortlandt Manor..We had about 150 people their, late-nite fun..Open-headers and 9″ slicks.
Paul,,,Street-Racer

Stage III was a BIG place with full Stage ..theatrical lighting….in a shopping center up Rt. 7 about half a mile on left past Stew Leonards. ’79-’80

Dino,
At the 4=corners, Brookfield Road.,,,Bored their, you can go up the road a bit, and hit
‘Dockside Cafe’.
Yonkers,,,’Harlee’s Playhouse”,,behind the ‘Dellwood’ Milk Plant.
Anyone see,,,’Alive and Kicking’,,,Had the hit ‘Tighter’, produced by Tommy James
(of Shondell’s fame)..Lead singer Pepe’ Cardona and Sandy Toder,,,1970,,Brooklyn Boys
PC

DINO,

‘THE MUSTARD FAMILY’……….. 😯 😯
Paul,,,,,Please pass the ‘Grey Poupon’

[dinoKeymaster]

Started out the “Mustard Family…Conn. group that changed their name to US69.Must have played the AFTs… Bill Cartier (drums), Bill Durso (vocals, guitar), Bob DePalma (saxophone), Don DePalma (piano, trumpet), Gil Nelson (bass, flute).
Put out an album as US69 called “Yesterdays Folks” ….jazz,rock,soul,and funk, featuring their own songs , including the title cut also covered by Charisma , the Hendrix-ish “Miss Goodbody”, “Never A Day Goes By” and “African Sunshine”……na-na -na …,na -na ….’daddy’ KNOWS his rock……………But ,I saw Brians CD & VHS collection ,staying with him for Dover Fest -WOW all 60′ 70’s…. hundreds …maybe thousands !
