Is this one of the Pirates of the Caribbean getting ready to kidnap one of the dancers (Ellen Papper)? Oh No, it's Harold Guillory, rubboard player of Chris Ardoin & Double Clutchin' just schmoozing on the dance floor for the camera bugs.

California star Zydeco dancer, Jackie Nichols and partner do a demo. Jackie sez, it's in the placement of the fingers that makes the dance what it is. Only kidding Jackie. From high on the indoor postage stamp stage of the Silver Club's Lounge is Kenny Menard Zydeco entertaing the late crowd from 9:30pm to 1:30am.

 

If Kenny take a wrong step he will end up in the Margarita mix. Kenny is know as the Cajun Crooner. Kenny's group has appeared for years in Las Vegas lounges. The sound of the rubboard was new to some of the late night casino patrons who stopped to enjoy the music and even try their hand in dancing.

This train was not available for the hoards of California festival goers who flew or drove to Sparks. And this was an expensive meal.
