Bob, I want to thank you for coming to Baltimore for the record hop and especially for inviting me and my guests. The 14 of us had a fantastic time - what a trip down memory lane. If we closed our eyes, we were back at Eudowood Teen Center or Pleasant Plains Teen Center. Bob, I don't know if you grew up in Baltimore, but the town was great for dances in the 1960s. The "Number 1" location was the Dixie Ballroom located at Gwynn Oak Amusement Park. Other locations were the Famous Ballroom, the Alcazar, Cameo Hall, Teamsters Union Hall, Steelworkers Union Hall, and Unity Hall. Seeing groups like The Coasters, The Marvelettes, The Contours, as well as our local groups - The Van Dykes, Frankie & the Spinners (later the Spindles), Tommy Vann & the Echoes, Bob Brady & the Con Chords, and my favorite group from DC, The El Corols featuring Little Wimpy Johnson with the El Corolettes. Your record hop brought it all back. Special thanks to Jack Gale for making our connection. If you ever plan to do this again, please let me know. The tickets are already sold. The steamed crabs are still waiting for you. Take care. Gene Scarpulla |
