Only 18 people showed up for this 1961 gig....

I'd consider that a success. It's about 10 more than showed up at my last bar gig. The bartender was a really hit redhead and we hit it off pretty good so that worked out o.k. I lost track of her though.

But those 18 people probably still talk about it!

Wow, classic pics!
As walrus alluded, those 18 people probably remember them when.... :smile-new:

Yeah, there are probably 18,000 people who claim to have been there!

Funny how that works, isn't it? :smile-new:

Context is everything. I saw 18 and thought this might be about the successor to a beer I tried recently, 17, a mint chocolate stout from Perennial Ales. Then I wondered if it had something to do with all those sites where you must be 18 to enter or all the models were 18 and so there would be heavy Moderation. The actual thread is more interesting. I expect that almost every famous performer has one or more stories like this. What makes this interesting is the degree of documentation. I certainly cannot dance a foxtrot

...a splendid time is guaranteed for all.
