Chuck has been at Slabs since 1934 (Technical quality of tape isn't the greatest at beginning). Brief comments about location of General Patton's camp during WWII. More Rolling Stone as he makes announcements over P. A. - "Mary had her little lamb." Little Abner on drums as a band gets together; guitarists and singing at end of tape. Catchy song, "I wonder where you are tonight."
