V/A

Boom-A-Lay and Chug-A-Lug / Vol. 7 and 8

(Stag-O-Lee)



The bar was dim. Laughs, muffled conversations, and the clink of glasses were heard. The Seeburg in the corner wobbled slightly. From it's speaker, smooth Jazz, R&B, and Pop melodies serenaded. 

Suddenly, the juke changed platters. A sax blared, stage-lights blazed, and a fish-netted leg kicked out from behind the magenta curtain.

Recommended: "Downstairs" (Plas Johnson and His Orchestra), "13 Women" (Chance Halladay), "Almost Good" (David Seville), "Boom-A-Lay" (The Astro-Jets), "Tremble" (Malcolm Dodds), "Night Walk" (Dick D'Agostin & the Swingers), "Bury Me Deep" (Chance Halladay), "Jekyll and Hyde" (Jim Burgett), "I Gotta Run Now" (Bobby Scott), "Laugh My Heart" (Malcolm Dodds), "The Search Goes On" (Trini Lopez), "Bad Man of Missouri" (Jimmy Ricks)
