I had a great time working at the Crazy Horse Saloon. It was great to be in "Show Business"! The guys I worked with were OK...Felix the Italian Stallion had a black leather outfit with chains and a whip. Neal was cool. He did some magic in his act. He juggled sometimes too. Jake did a floor show laying on a furry bearskin. One guy looked like Chuck Mangioni...
danced to one of his songs, also to Exile: "Kiss You All Over". Frank wore a tuxedo that was totally machine washable! One of his songs was "He's The Greatest Dancer" and maybe he was...he would jump up and come crashing down into the splits, not once but two or three times! You could hear the loud noise all the way back to the dressing room! Whenever I was up next I knew by the sound, I just had a minute or so to be ready to go. Another guy who was touring came in for a few days; Jack did an Elvis act..but I think I remember he didn't go down to nothing out of 'respect' for Elvis! I ran into him a few years later at "Nudes-a-Poppin' " at the Ponderosa Sun Club in Roselawn, Ind. I competed there several years, (winning a couple of awards)
but this time I was in the audience and he was on the stage.....I yelled and waved "Hey Jack, I'm still dancing!!!
I met a lot of girls at our shows and dated many of them. I loved being in Florida and dancing at the "legendary" Crazy Horse Saloon!!
