Re: RIP Jerry Blavat
RIP Jerry Blavat. The Geator with the Heater, the Big Boss with the Hot Sauce.
Sunday afternoons at Wagner's Ballroom. The 60 trolley to the subway up to Broad and Olney.
Wearing my Villager/Ladybug skirts and sweaters that I got at the Villager outlet in Northeast Philly. My mom drove four of us there a couple of times to shop. The beauty of the seams in the "seconds" blouses was that you couldn't see the flaws with a sweater vest over it.
The Wagner Walk was my favorite of the line dances. Recreated here in the movie The In Crowd, with Joe Pantoliano as the Blavat stand-in. Blavat sued and won.
We'd still go to Blavat dances up until a couple of years ago. Every year, he'd have a record hop the Friday night of the Doo-Wop weekend in Wildwood. Even when we were recovering from various ailments and couldn't dance, we'd still go and listen to the music.
He still had weekly radios shows and regular dances up until the fall.
The soundtrack of my tweens and teens. And summer nights on the deck at the shore when I think about being a Yon Teenager.
