It was great dancing at the Crazy Horse Saloon but it was time to go home. I had been living in South Florida for eight or nine months. I met a lot of wonderful people and had good friends...some buddies and girlfriends!
If I was smart I should have stayed because my magazine cover was all over Miami. I might have had a good chance for more modeling jobs. If I could do it over I would've contacted some agencies. Dancing was nice but maybe there was something bigger for me.
A while before all the dancing I worked at a health food restaurant in downtown Miami and met a pretty girl named Stephanie who was a customer. We ended up going out a couple times and after I mentioned modeling she said I should meet her mother who taught a class in modeling at one of the high schools in the area. (I had visited and stayed in Miami for weeks and months at a time). So the next time I left Chicago to go to Florida I ended up in a class at night school with Norma Bryan. I learned a lot from her and she worked with me on my singing. I was in two or three talent and modeling shows and even got a TV commercial! I was very lucky to know this great lady.
But I started dancing and liked it and I wanted to go back home!
So I did and things worked out OK!
I kept my eyes and ears open and sure enough I was dancing again...this time it was in a club in the SW suburbs of Chicago.
My next job was in Willow Springs at a place called Saints And Sinners! ...SAINTS AND SINNERS!!!
