    I watched Milt Grant while attending JEB Stuart HS in Falls Church in the 50's, and got to rate a dance contest at one of Milt's remotes at 7 Corners Mall in '61, right after I graduated. I gave the song a 70, because it "had a good beat and you can dance to it."
    I thought the kids were much better dancers than on American Bandstand. Now, retired, I get to move from NJ to NC and do the shag like we used to in DC.

    Yikes! I'm from the DC/MD area and remember Milt Grant. I was probably 10 or 11 at the time but his show was on my radar.

    Cool... you didn't get to meet Laverne Baker did you? That would have been amazing.

    Don't mean to open a can of worms, but due to the era, there were NO black kids in the audience. I know LaVern didn't like that. I met her at one of the first R & R concerts I went to in '55 and she was soo nice. I felt sorry for her and other black artists the way white artists covered their records. Being white, I always liked the black artists' versions better! Us white kids finally wised up and bought the originals! lol...

    I met Annette, Frankie, and Virginia Funicello. Any opinions on any of them? I have my own.

    Can of worms: When Annette Funicello was on the Dick Clark Caravan of Stars tour with her tutor (she was a minor), Laverne was using the "f" word alot. The tutor asked Laverne not use that word, that there was a minor present. Laverne replied that maybe the minor was too young to be on the tour. Classless.
