Art Records ALP-42
Recorded Live In The Wreck Bar Of The Yankee Clipper Hotel, Fort Lauderdale, Florida
From the back cover: My (Jethro Van Burns) introduction to Smokey and Bobbi was in the sleepy little village of Las Vegas, Nevada, at the world famous Golden Nugget. They were working on the afternoon shift - a challenge to any act. The audience this time of day is made up of the losers, the hung-over types from the night before and the slot machine players, who listen for music and falling jack pots at the same time. Smoky and Bobbi come on relaxed and easy, singing and playing a stage full of instruments and their comedy is a sharp as you will hear on any stage, night club floor, or television show! They not only capture the attention of the audience, they fracture them!
that bar is still open and even has a live Mermaid show
