Turned into one of the longest most memorable nights of my life. A couple of younger guys (compared to the usual Opera House Guests) were curious about why a "kid" would be ushering, and we started talking, and in the second intermission, they invited me out afterwards.
Perfect world, it would have been to the after-party with Sylvester and all the other performers. Not the case. BUT, and it's a big but, Turns out they were in the band The Tubes. Long night. Very long night.

I'd hardly consider the Tubes as any sort of disco! What a great number it was! Too bad they were pretty much a one hit wonder....
I could never be a disco kind of guy, and only enjoyed dancing while intoxicated. Back in the 70s, I did have a leisure suit, but that was far as my disco experience got!
The disco music just seemed more refined, & Jazz like. There was lots of talent involved... My grudge against "Disco Culture", is that it opened up the era of using DJs, instead of live entertainment for dancing joints, a plague for musicians, which continues into the present!
