A Really Good Labor Day Weekend-- Part2

Saturday-- August 30th continued

Next we went to the Korner Kitchen and had ribeye dinners for $9.95, definitely a hard deal to beat.

Completely full, we meandered over to Donovan's reef, named after the Lee Marvin/John Wayne movie, and got our room. Played NTN from 8:30 to 2 am with a lot of top twenties and even some #1 rankings. We thoroughly enjoyed the band Affects which specializes in 50s-60s music. They even have a sax player and a guy who can do a pretty good job on Roy Orbison. You have to be very confidant to try Roy Orbison.


SUNDAY-- AUGUST 31st-- Up way too early at 7 am, but I just had to hear Bob Stroud do his last Roots Salute to the Summer of 1968 for three hours. He told us about news and played the songs that were on our radios forty years earlier.

Afterwards, I walked along the lakeshore to Main Street and had some of Ray's ultimate bloody marys while talking with Cruz and Pinky who said that the Korner Kitchen will be torn down shortly to make way for a new WALGREENS. Sad to hear that.

Met Liz on the way back to Donovan's, and we went to the Triangle on the north side of town where we talked with the former village president of Twin Lakes. He said that Korner Kitchen would move across the street to Rumpoles if the Walgreens deal goes through. Rumpoles dates back to the 1920s when it was a amjor dance room and featured all the great Big Bands during that era like Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey.

I'd never been to the Triange nor the next place we went, the Basset Hound, in Basset, Wisconsin. That's a good name for a bar in that town.
