Dancing at the Locarno


Recommended Posts

As mentioned several times Tuesday nights down Locarno'' were called Teenbeat'' around 1960........often wonder if they were named after this great instrumental.........of 1959 by 'Sandy Nelson''

My parents met at The Victoria Ballroom in February 1947.  Not long before my mother's 21st birthday.  Dad had beautiful, dark, wavy hair and my mother asked him whether he'd had it permed! He was offended and that was almost the end of the relationship before it even started.  I almost wasn't!
