Before The Show

I had to be near a phone or have my pager on me...worked a lot... nightclubs, parties, strip telegrams.
Then I started working with Valerie...and she was busy.

Strip Telegram!

When I worked at The Rose  I met Nan.  We liked each other and went out a few times.  Then we didn't see each other for a while.
One day Nan called and said she was starting up a business....strip telegrams!... and did I want to work for her?... I said OK and soon I was busy driving around all over with my portable stereo doing these 5-10-15  minute surprise strips in bars, restaurants, offices, and parties.  Night and day...and I still could do nightclubs and bachelorette parties.
The other guys in Kings Of Hearts also were hired.
And  we worked for other

companies too!
We all were pretty busy!

Bachelorette Parties

Bachelorette parties are so much fun!

It was great to be dancing for the girls and be the only guy there!

I entertained a lotta girls at a lotta parties! 

I was so lucky to have a job I liked!

Cowboy Roger Houston

The cowboy outfits were my favorites of all the costumes I wore. I never carried a gun but I had a rope to lasso the girls

More Photos

I have a lot of pictures.  Most of them I took myself with my Praktica in the late 60's to 1970's, and with my pocket size Olympus in the 1980's and 90's, Cannon Neo later, now the phone camera.  In the 80's I made some Videos on Beta and VHS.  I have about 10 to 20 of Valerie Craft's shows and about 2 or 3 of me and the Kings Of Hearts.
I have many pictures and a video from girls and girlfriends at our shows.
But most of the best pictures were shot by Antonio Bartczak in 3 or 4 studio photo sessions in the early 1980's.
