Now  Dear Jack Wierd:  :))

While that sounds amusing, and I can see it all happening now, I am 
definitely having a mammary lapse, or early Old Timers' Disease moving in.  I used to 
book fourteen of those clubs exclusively and I never booked any such band.

I did however book Carol Doda the First Topless dancer at the CONDOR, where 
she came down out of the ceiling on top of a Grand Piano on steel cables four 
times a night and gyrated to the patrons delight, with her greatly enhanced 
bosoms, which now hang well past her knees.  She was a Go Go dancer with one of 
my early Rock bands when she did not have any more than a mosquito bite.  :))

I also booked Judy Mac, who was the first lady to take off her underwear and 
go bottomless as well as topless to out do Carol Doda across the street.  How 
do I remember this incident so clearly, I was in the Paddy Wagon with her & 
Nooney Rickets who Don Rickles renamed (The Brillo Pad) due to his Exaggerated 
Afro hair wig, which looked really funny on a white dude, the band leader and 
the rest of them getting booked in the S.F. City Jail.

So please refresh my mammary and tell me where this club was, I ain't sayin' 
it didn't happen, I just can't recall it,  unless it happened at the Off 
Broadway Club when the Boretta Brothers owned it, there were always some weird and 
different things going on, on that street in the 60s and 70s.  I just might 
have missed one, but a topless accordion band I think I would have paid to see 
that one.  :))

I do remember the Bat Girl at Big Al's, and of course Big Al himself, and the 
twin sister topless dancers we had in our show there.  They were both cross 
eyed as hell, and I swear to God one of them looked inward at her nose and the 
other one's eyes went the opposite way and stared out to the side of her head 
on both sides.  That is not funny in it'self, but the boobs did the same 
thing.  One had innies and the other had outies, funniest sets of topless dancers I 
ever saw in my life. And I did see a lot of them on that street.

Yes they shared the dressing room with the band, :))

The good old days.

Cheers,

Tom ( I didn't see nuthin'  Ossifer)  Wiggins
