I recall attending a free BBoys show in the early Eighties on the Queen Mary
in Long
Beach I believe it was (Jeff? Correct??) which was being simulcast for
radio
broadcast.
Hi Gary--I caught that concert live on TV while it was being blasted out of
my stereo speakers our local FM oldies station. Wolfman Jack was the MC.
Thanks for the info on Dennis "Rocky" Wilson!
