"DENNY AND THE DC DRIFTERS REMEMBERING THE FABULOUS 50'S SHOW".
VERY GOOD SHOW AND A GOOD ATTENDANCE. DENNY IN THE MIDDLE
AND BAND MEMBER ON THE RIGHT HAVE BEEN ENTERTAINING SINCE
THE MID 60'S. ALSO IN THE SHOW, THE DRUMMER.... AND WOMAN AT THE
ELECTRIC PIANO ....AND ONE OTHER SINGER NOT ON STAGE WHEN I TOOK
THE PHOTO. THEY WENT OUT INTO THE AUDIENCE A LOT TOO AND PEOPLE
LIKE THAT. QUITE A FEW DANCED UP BY THE STAGE. THAT 55 CHEVY
(I THINK IT WAS A 55) IS OWNED BY A MAQUOKETAN WHOSE NAME I DIDN'T GET. IT LOOKED GREAT UP THERE ON STAGE.
PHIL ROEDER AND
KURT ULRICH
HAVE A PHOTO DISPLAY NOW AT THE MAQUOKETA ART EXPERIENCE IN DOWNTOWN MAQUOKETA.
SUNDAY AFTERNOON, IT WAS MEET THE
PHOTOGRAPHERS TIME AND A NICE TURNOUT
