VANCOUVER B.C. SUN NEWSPAPER SCRIBE-EXTRAORDINAIRE - Mr. JOHN MACKIE SENT WAGRadio THIS AD FROM THE 1960'S of The SMILIN' BUDDHA WHEN NEW WORLD AFRICAN MUSIC ACTS RULED ! !


YA GOTTA WONDER WHO WAS IN THE HOUSE BAND "THE KINGSMEN"?  
WAS IT DOUG CUTHBERT on DRUMS?  HENRY YOUNG on GEETAR?  LARRY VOLEN on TENOR SAX?  And I KNOW THAT Mr. MACKIE FEELS IT'S THE SEATTLE BAND BUT I HAVE A GUT FEELING THESE "KINGSMEN" were LOCAL VANCITY MUSICIANS. . . and MOSTLY EAST ENDERS.  TRUTH TO FOLLOW?
AND LOOKAHERE ! !  THE WONDERFUL TEDDY FELTON - THE M.C. THAT DEFINED JIVE TALKIN' AND GOOD-LOOKIN'.  TEDDY WOULD SAY STUFF LIKE, "We gonna take a break and lissin' to J.B.  That's not James Brown, that's the jukebox" and "It's time for a coke and a smoke and then we'll be  back".  IT WAS Mr. T. FELTON WHO INTRODUCED THE MIC-CHECK PHRASE, "Tastin'.  Tastin'" INSTEAD OF, "Testing, testing" to the musicians of VanCity.    
DJZigZag CLAIMS THAT EVEN THOUGH HIS PALS WERE IN THE HOUSE BAND  . . . HE WAS AFFEARED OF GOIN' TO THE GIT-DOWN WHALIN' SMILIN' BUDDHA.
ANYBODY KNOW HOW THE PLACE GOT IT'S NAME?
THANK YOU JOHN MACKIE FOR SUCH A GREAT GIFT.
