I would love to see a photo of the Bonnevilles when Malcolm was the front man. I remember seeing this band perform in WV where I went to college. Spent one summer in NJ and was so surprised to see them at Bayshores. I have some wonderful memories of that summer. If anyone has any photos of them, I’d love to see them. Thanks. Stay well and safe all. Loved that summer....loved Bayshores and dune til Dawn.....thanks, Karen<br /><br />PS. I saw a post about Malcolm....he apparently was very sick....they weren’t sure that he would recover, but the last I read, he appeared to be doing better.

The plan was for me to spend the summer with him and work at Bay Shores, I believe it was around 1971. Sadly, he died in March and I never had the experience. Sounds like I missed a good thing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15787209652055219675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026117493474575058.post-76227410848584125382016-10-20T04:04:04.013-07:002016-10-20T04:04:04.013-07:00Serving with Longport NJ real estate, Longport NJ ...Serving with Longport NJ real estate, Longport NJ homes for sale easily.

I was the sax player for Tito Mambo & the Messiahs of Soul. We worked in the mid 60's at both Bayshores & the Dunes.As with the other posters here, I remember those times as some of the best. Great life for a young guy. Played every night/after hours/wknd afternoon sessions. Weight trained with bouncer Guy Borelli from Bayshores, Slept on the beach, ate lunch at the College Grill, & worked. Our band consisted of Tito/Vocals, BJ Stone/B3, Dick Sequino/Guitar, Paul Nunes/Drums, & Diz Lee & Saul Shocket/Tenor Saxes. This group was loaded with talent & it was an honor to work with them, especially Diz. If anyone out there remembers any of these names, please feel free to email me @<br />saulselitetrng@aol.comSaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05850397296778472648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026117493474575058.post-67116085625221932162009-05-01T22:29:00.000-07:002009-05-01T22:29:00.000-07:00jdrcrj@bellsouth.net wrote:

We were on the back stage and Johnny Caswell and the Crystal Mansion were on the front side stage. I'd like to compare notes... I enjoy reading events from the past. "The Good Ole Days". When I think of Tony Mart's I think of how hot it was on those humid summer days when the beer and liquor trucks were the only things moving, unloading there goods. We were meeting and listening to the latest "guest bands" practice during mid day getting ready for there week or two week long stint at Tony Mart's. We, the Bonnevilles, a couple days a week, would be working on new songs across the street and would go to Coaches Corner, The Anchorage, Gregory's or the Point Diner for lunch then hang out back at the clubs. Really not much happening this time of day. Just hot and humid, empty parking lots, with the smell of the bay at low tide in the air. Cleaning crews and beer trucks moving about. Bar stools upside down on the bars so the floors could be cleaned. Dempsy Dumpsters full of broken bottles waiting to be emptied. The bar tenders would show up around 5pm or so preparing their areas for the night's festivities. Norman, the manager, would be there too. Bill, the Bayshores security guard who checked I.D.'s at the front door, and the bouncers would show up around 7pm. After that the whole area started to buzz. By 10pm it was going strong. Three sets to go, 2 sets, 1 set, let's go to the Dunes. "Til dawn" meant til after dawn. The Dunes had double door entryways, and 4X8 hinged pieces of plywood to swing down to cover the windows just before dawn. If you couldn't see it get light outside, you would stay longer. No idea what time it was, and really didn't care. Oh " the Good Ole Days". More later. Joe.William Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06891936236810260349noreply@blogger.com
