Jukebox On The Moon

For Those In the Athens, Georgia Metropolitan Area

Come and wear out your dancing shoes to the swinging soulful sounds purveyed by your friend and mine, the mighty Kurt Wood, as well as the similarly-magnificent DJ Mahogany! PLUS: Fill your belly with a home-cooked meal, courtesy of Nate, your host! Poster (whose colors have shifted strangely in their journey to the internet, but I kinda like it) by yours truly.

The Lombardo Twins

   According to the back of this wallet-sized photo, they were on "A" Records of 14 Jefferson Street, Elizabeth, NJ.

I can't tell you much else about them, except that their one record that I know of is great. I'll let "DJ Little Danny" show you his copy. He might even let you hear it, if you say "please". Here's what Billboard had to say about them.

Even MORE About Swamp Guinea!

Here's a harrowing true-life account of a natural disaster as experienced at the original Swamp Guinea in 1973. I don't know if this was the occasion for its demise, but it certainly couldn't have helped.

Goin' Back to Swamp Guinea

I was all prepared to post "Been to Swamp Guinea" a week or so ago, but my current sporadic access to my computer (which should be resolved in about a month, I hope) allowed our Glorious and Benevolent Ringleader to scoop me. That said, I don't believe she has this. In the interest of strict accuracy, what is advertised here is not the original, long-defunct Athens location of the song, but their other, still-extant location a bit further north. I've only eaten there once, but I would recommend it. This particular ad is from a 1972 edition of the Anderson (SC) Daily Mail. Fun fact: the Daily Mail not only ran Criswell's column, their subsidiary, Droke House Press, was his hardcover publisher. I don't know how that occurred... Anderson is a long way from Hollywood!
