If you were a swinging teen back in the 60s, dance halls provided a great all-ages option. When rock ‘n’ roll was young, so were the people listening to it. Twin City bars weren’t interested in booking noisy long hairs who couldn’t bring in people old enough to order a drink. Most of the local bands played the neighborhood dance halls. The hottest venue in Robbinsdale was Someplace Else on West Broadway. These days the building is occupied by Lions Gym.
We used to yell, “WATCH IT! WATCH IT! WHISKEY! WHISKEY!” while we danced. One of the local girls started the phrase. I’m not sure of its meaning. Good times back then.
