This was my first time performing in Atlantic City.

​

The Tropicana. 

Notice the stencils on the cymbals so the performers wouldn't steal them.  I remember they wouldn't let me use my own cymbals or drums.  They wanted total control of the sound and volume.

​

This was a great experience.  I sent postcards to all my friends and family telling them that I "made it to the big time".  LOL
