Headframe Cabaret
There has been a few pics of the headframe. Thanks for those additions. I was a bus boy there for a summer. I made and served simple dinner salads and dressings. I changed out ashtrays, picked up glasses and poured water. I greeted people as they came to the restaurant. It was a good job. I worked with David McLeod. He was a bus boy too, but he could sing too. One day he sang with the band, the song, “Heartbreak Hotel”. He put his whole heart into it. After I was eighteen it was good place to go to have a good time with live music.
