Cherry Hill... did you ever go to Gino's there? I was an assistant manager there (about 1979 and/or 80). Lived in Lindenwold '78-80 (as best I can recall - fuzzy times - back when gas was 29 cents a gallon during the gas wars - and when the pumps ran out). [Gino's was a Jersey fast food chain that had everything - burgers like Roy Roger's, roast beef like Arby's, salad bar AND the Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise throughout NJ and the Philly area]

Did you ever go to STARS - the showcase club in Philly - 2nd & Bainbridge? - I placed first in a city-wide talent search that was put on by WMMR - great station! - and then became an opening act at the club for some of the national acts that came through... Ah, to be young again!. Were you old enough to get into a club in 1980?... probably not... kids!.

(sorry for the "about me" thread hijack... just thought it was cool we were there at the same time...and it did give you a bump wink )
