NEPTUNE'S COVE
Last night we went over to Half-Times in Johnsburg, Illinois, to see their new addition. We sat next to a couple and in talking, they mentioned that they used to hang out at the old Neptune's Cove on Fox Lake.
I immediately chimed in that I used to deejay there for John and Anne and did so for several years. It was one of the original places where I started deejaying with my own equipment and we had some great times there.
I had gone in to talk with the new owners about deejaying as we used to go there often to see the country band Choyce. I got the job. I remember I had to build swings to put my turntables on as when people were out on the dance floor it caused a lot of needle skipping.
The remembered me being there. They had met there and became king and queen one time of Neptune's in a contest, fell in love and have been married ever since.
Neptune's Cove became a popular 50s-60s place after Neptune's called Jukebox Saturday Night. That closed and the place was torn down.
She is the sister of Pete and Tilly, who were the parents of Anne. I knew them well. Pete and Tilly now live in Florida and Anne and John live in Dallas.
