One Hit Wonder Hall of Fame


The Twist & Shout was an American Legion hall in Bethesda, MD. Marc Gretchel rented it out on weekend nights and had what we called "adult teen parties". Live music, no bouncers, lots of cheap draft beer that by the end of the night covered the dance floor. Rockabilly was the genre of choice, with some zydeco and blues-rock sprinkled in. I had some great times there. The Mrs. and I had some of our first dates there.
