I used to attend these when the proprietor thereof (who was noted for
becoming somewhat intoxocated during the course of annual CCC's
as well as his "bashes!") was in charge!

When/if I am once again among the "affluent," I shall have to resume
my attendance...?! One IMPORTANT point...IIRC, the venue is
only available to owners/operators of auto-mobiles...?!

I can afford to buy more records; however, I am NOT sure I can
afford an auto-mobile...?!
