Years ago when my daughter was a teenager she had lunch with Frankie Avalon. He was a neighborhood guy when I was growing up. listening to him now brought back this memory. I was thrilled she got to meet him. She loved him in Grease !
When I was a teenager I went to dances every Saturday night to an all boys High School. It was a Catholic High school so the Priest would watch everything. When walking in the girls had to show the bottoms of their shoes to make sure nothing would scratch the dance floor that was in the Gym. When The Twist came out by Chubby Checker you weren't allowed to dance the twist to it. Of course when they played it the groups would form a circle and cover the kids dancing the Twist.
