Explosion of the Tone Cabinets

Live from the Carriage Inn Restaurant next to Interstate 95 in Pittsfield, let's all enjoy the Hammond stylings of Mr. Cliff Duphiney......don't forget to tip your waitress!

Cocktails for Two - Cliff Duphiney

Oh Kay!

Kay Thompson wrote the book "Eloise", which is all I need to know about her (and if you don't know the book Eloise, you need to be sklonked in the kneecap). I suppose she was also in the movie Funny Face, and had a famous nightclub act too. Vinyl Whores led me to a lot of stories about her life and performance clips, you may enjoy it, too.

Femme Fatale

From 1957, the smoky afterhours blues of Hadda Brooks:
Anytime, Anyplace, Anywhere

Three Cheers for the Three Cheers

A peppy (tho over-tamborinated) version of the under-recorded Don't Let Go, a Walk on the Wild Side, a Weekend at Timberline and other nightclubby songs from the Three Cheers, available at Bongos Flutes and Guitars.

Tropicana Turns 70

Havana's Tropicana Club recently celebrated its 70th birthday, and Pulp International has some lovely images and memoribilia to mark the occasion.

Live from the Trolley Bar in Fort Wayne Indiana

Let's step back in time to experience one of the most popular nightclub acts of 1961.....it's Mr. Bill Barner, his ivory-tickling stylings, and his irritating habit of sniggering at his own jokes. The "mirth-quake" of hee-larity begins here.

My Kind of Country Club

Homer & Jethro at the Country Club

Gol durn, I'm not sure how I managed to forget to post this great live performance by Homer and Jethro last week.....in case you don't already know, these guys are way more funny that what you might see on Hee-Haw, and accomplished musicians to boot. Get it here, you might be glad you did.

Party Time!

From Skinnergy's The Club Scene - Fort Walton Bch., FL, circa 1970s Flickr.
This is a big stack of pics that I scanned as a single collection. Most are 8"x10", but a few are snapshots. They represent something of a snapshot of the bar and entertainment scene in the Gulf Coast resort town of Fort Walton Bch, FL, circa 1970s. Most are of bands, entertainers and a few strippers.
