May I have this dance please?

When we saw this board in the Shackleton Hall showing old-time dances, it took us back many years to the time Vince played drums in a dance band. The group called themselves the Evergreens and played for old-time dances. The driving force was the pianist whose husband played saxophone. His brother played guitar and Vince played drums. The dance program would be set on stage much like the one in the photo. The towns in the area were far apart and the group would sometimes not get home till 3 or 4 in the morning. Once they hit a kangaroo and it was 8 am before they eventually got home. The dances were very popular and the band was booked up almost every Saturday.
