Dj discOworm- I Was The Dj at the sun Tavern Between 1974 to 1977. One of the first songs I played was “Soul Makossa” by Manu Dibango. I Played The Pointer Sisters Album “Stepping out” in 1975. “Glasshouse” by The Temptations. Eddie Hendricks’s “Keep On Trucking” was another great dance hit. I Really Liked Joe Redburn. He was a Radio Dj too   Entering The sun Tavern There would be largely black and white silhouettes of Marylin Monroe and Clark gable, Charlie Chaplin, and others.   by the way, 4 great pinball machines!

MY LIFE AS Dj discOworm from 1974 to 1976 at the 'SUN TAVERN' Salt Lake City, Utah'

besides owning the sun Tavern. He would give me all the beer I could drink for djing upstairs overlooking the crowd. Boy, I could get the crowds moving to the beat. I Remember when the whole dance floor did the Hustle together, very cool. Added disco group ‘First Choice'” Hold Your Horses”The beginning of the actual disco scene.        I remember playing”rock Your Baby” over and over. Boy, did I Have A stack Of 45’s.. 12-inch singles were not out yet? In fact, the 12 inch single was kind of an accident. A record label was asked to put the 45 on a 12-inch plate. when he did he just put it on like an album. very tight. when asked to spread the track across the whole disc, which they did to the DJs shock the sound came out much richer and louder.  “Bingo”    One Of The 45’s I bought brought everyone out to the dance floor, it was so good that I felt it would help my survival on continuing to be a DJ at the Sun Tavern IF I erased the cover on the 45 so no one would see it, Sure enough here comes Joe up the stairs to have a look, to his disappointment no go. perfect  We Had Randy who could play the Tamborine and blew the whistle to get the crowds to dance and of course, the poopers really helped. {JOHNNY MATHIS} {Johhny Sold 450 Million Records} and his lover and {PAUL LYNDE} from the Donnie And Marie Show and Hollywood Squares and the movie {Bye Bye Birdie} were patrons. Someone broke into Paul Lynde”s Rolls Royce will he was inside partying- Not a Pretty sight.} Can We Say Super Bitch” A shout-out to my 1975 friends.
