Subject: RE: For Guitar nurds: The Waukesha Wizard!
I lived in West Allis from when I was 4 (having moved from West Milwaukee) until I was 20 (1969) and left for New England. Went to Milwaukee Lutheran H.S. and afterwards hung out at the coffee house that Folky1 is now in charge of. Seems like I always dated lead guitarists back in that era -- played at The Attic, too, but I think I spent more time at Divine's Ballroom (at the Eagles' Club down on Wisconsin Ave.). Gave John Mayall a tour around Milwaukee once. When the Rolling Stones did a concert at the Auditorium (Brian Jones was in the hospital in Chicago) in 1964-ish, I was one of an audience of only about 200 -- nobody in Milwaukee knew who they were, yet.
