Griff’s Hamburgers is a forgotten chain, but there are a few of them still open, like this one in Bossier City, LA. The burgers are great! (Taken with instagram)
Spazz Records is a vinyl and indie rock shop in West Monroe, LA. Not a huge selection, but still really cool! (Taken with instagram)
Moonwalking With The Klondike Dance, Drum and Bugle Corps Back in 1970
Anyone who has ever been to a majorette jamboree knows that majorettes and drummers are a big part of Memphis culture. So I was really interested when I came across this July 4, 1970 article from the Commercial Appeal about the Klondike Dance, Drum and Bugle Corps, which for one thing proves that the roots of drumming and drilling in Memphis go back at least that far (legendary drummer Willie Hall claims back to 1969). Also of interest is the reference to the dancers doing the “moon walk”, so that dance is clearly older than Michael Jackson, and might have come from Memphis!
