Chic Silber said...: I could never understand a 9 mile

jump on such an enormous operation

Surely the sponsers could have been

able to get together on these dates; 11 August, 2012 09:48
Ole Whitey said...: Shows used to play "the Chicago lots," "the Detroit lots" or "the Los Angeles lots" and hit several communities that may have been close on the map but considered themselves separate towns or at least distinct neighborhoods.

Once Ted Bowman asked me to check on several Gentry Bros dates here and I found that they had played four different stands right here in Nashville. Of course much of this was before sponsored dates with phone promotions.; 11 August, 2012 11:57
Bob K said...: The Lake Geneva date was at the Playboy Club there.
Bob Kitto; 11 August, 2012 13:30
Chic Silber said...: And how it was Bob & I did the tech

advance & was treated royally

I still have the "Lifetime" Gold

(metal) Playboy Club Card that was

good at all their clubs for years

Was sure sorry when they closed; 11 August, 2012 14:09
