If you would like to send me your photos of you and your friends visiting these clubs, dancing to these bands etc, send them and I'll post them. If you want me to list names, simply provide them and try to remember something about the photo, where it happened, who was playing etc. please remember the timeline...60's thru 80's!
Please take some time to look through the website for John Neiman's GREAT book:
"In Concert: KSHE and 40+ Years of Rock in St. Louis"
(and then please buy one!)
Michael McDonald's wedding party; I see Russ Bono, Steve Scorfina and Chuckie Sabatino...
Can you all please email me if you know any of the others?
(Thanks to Gary Poggemoeller for identifying the guy in the sunglasses as Dan Duncan, and between Dan and Chuckie is Pat Malloy!)
Here's the autograph wall of the Ambassador Theater dressing room area...some great signers!

I just came across your site. This is a GREAT site! I live in KC now but I grew up in St. Louis from 1954 to 1979 in University City on Central Ave., just south of the St. Louis County Courthouse. I was a paperboy for Bennie Komm located at Central and Forsythe. I had a "Paper Route" from age 10 to 15 years old. I went to St. Joseph's Catholic School. My sister did as well and I can remember Bob Kuban playing for a dance at the school. I was too young to get in, but watched them play from a distance. I also started playing drums back then and purchased my drums at a music store owned by Bob and Phil Hulsey. I never met Bob though. It was in the "Northland Shopping Ctr. in Jennings, MO. I won a lot of records calling into KXOK and to this day remember most all the DJ's. I can't remember what movie I rented last week!
Thanks a lot for the memories,
