Please feel free to ignore or not answer any of my questions. I have no plans to publish anything on the Old Dutch in the near future and I will definitely contact you before using any information or images you provide. One of the items that I was so glad to find was the News-Herald photo of the fireplace. Do you have any other photographs of the interior or exterior? Old blueprints or a sketch of the layout of the bar and dance hall would be nice. How much of the dance hall was part of the original structure or was all of it part of the original cabin? How did Hurricane Eloise damage the building? Was anything salvaged before demolition? The K-OTICS were playing the Old Dutch in the summer of '65 when they visited the Old Hickory and first heard THE SWINGIN' MEDALLIONS play DOUBLE SHOT OF MY BABY'S LOVE. This was the beginning of a series of events which resulted in the recording and release of the record by both groups in the spring of '66. Do you have any memories of the K-OTICs, the Swingin' Medallions or DOUBLE SHOT? I know there are tales of vehicles ending up in the swimming pool or under the water of the Gulf and the motel guests were often guilty of all sorts of mischief but what are your memories of some of the craziest things that occurred at the Old Dutch? After '71, you were able to stay open until 4 A.M. What would be the routine for a typical day during the season? How would that change of Friday and Saturday? How did the week of July the 4th change that routine? (Musicians who stayed in the quarters underneath the stage mention the laundry starting up early in the morning and the odors produced by the washing and drying.) I know you saw many changes in entertainment over the years. Soul bands transformed themselves into psychedelic and heavy metal rock bands, etc. What changes do you remember in entertainment? Did blacks ever perform at the Old Dutch and were they ever patrons? Many of the musicians you hired were youngsters who experienced their first taste of nightclub life at the Old Dutch. Many of them recall seeing their first strip tease act while performing back up music for the stripper's performance. Other musicians recall meeting their first lesbian couples at the Old Dutch or seeing a woman go bra-less in public for the first time inside the Old Dutch. Do you have any memories of "women's liberation" at the Old Dutch? How did the off-season differ from the summer? Well those 13 questions are a good start. If you'd simply like to talk to me over the phone instead of typing answers, let me know. Thanks. Best, r
