In fact, long story short, my husband and I was there for a private party and decided to stay for dinner. As we sat and ate, Bob hung out with us to chat. He decided to order dinner also and told me (I had been eating the Lobster dinner) that I made it look so good, he had to order one for himself.
Yeah I know he's at 104.3 so thats why I asked. I liked Jerry Martea a little better. And remember Fingers? Heavy metal guy for BAB who drove the BAB van!

KISS was right on the lake, next to the entrance to the beach? When I was younger it was something else...Toro's maybe? There was a big great dane that would lay on the flat roof in the front in the sun...maybe HIS name was Toro?

Mom used to warn us NOT to walk past the "dirty movies", which made it hard to go to Cheap John's!

Didn't KISS burn down??

Not sure. I remember him looking like Frank Zappa in his prime! Everyone seems to remember Fingers! They should interview him!
Also, remember the traffic girl, Tracey Bergis? I remember being at the I think Hilton in Smithtown in 1990 for a WBAB party and she was there, what a knock out!

I went onto WBAB's website and found a pic of fingers, apparently he is still there. http://wbab.com/fingers/index.html I don't recall what he looked like back when I was a teen (70's) however, it shows him today. Check it out
