The Original Just-Uz Band

Center Stage- December 24, 1981?

This was a big event for us at the old Center Stage in East Providence with another local famous group named "Ecstasy." We were there on Wednesday December 24th, 1981? (if anyone knows the correct year- let me know) it was Christmas eve at 8:30pm- tickets were $5.00 for admission to our show. We had a great time! That's the night I learned that Mark Gonsalves (from the group "Ecstasy") was my cousin! My Dad was there (always the biggest supporter of my singing career!) and he introduced me to Mark's Mom and told me that she and my Mom were cousins! SMALL WORLD! In that same week, other performers that played or were going to play at Center Stage included; Randy Hansen, Steve Forbert, Blue Angel, The Young Adults, Duke Robillard Band, The Probers and The Average White Band.
