Is that the same guy that came on as Bogart in Silver Screen once in '78 without his pants?dwolo wrote:Hey Joey,
I was referring to the Gurnee Park in the summer of 79. I think they sent Mike Kehoe from california to do Elvis in the 50's show.

Actually, Joey, Music Man ran in the summer of '78 in Santa Clara.brdwyguy wrote:thats correct dwolo
i was in the Rock and Roll show
it played at Theater Royale in the evenings for several weekends
The Music Man ran the summer of 79 in Theater Royale
I'm pretty sure the Rock n Roll show was in the early fall of 78
Sept/Oct when the park was open for weekends
(it ran about 25-30minutes)

While the Rock and Roll show was on, the bumper cars became a disco, if I recall.

You mean the place that was sung about?
"Come and meet, those aching feet, in the Music Hall by the Tidal Wave, and Great America"?
You don't remember me? I was the shark!
Additional Gurnee venue/shows
There was also a Circus (athough I don't know what year[s] - I *think* that Mark Hawbecker was the ringmaster) and "Country Music Time!" played the summer of 1980 in the area that later became the queue line for the American Eagle (Gurnee park).
Thanks for the list!
