Teen Club (I think)


Back in the late 50's, there was a concrete block building out at the Clinton County Fairgrounds that was dedicated to the youth on Saturday nights.  I think it was called the Teen Club.  I saw many bands out there. 

The one I remember the most was "Maybellene" performed by Chuck Berry before he was a big rock star.  I remember seeing his famous dance with the guitar across the stage.  What a great memory.  I saw him the other day on TV and he is still dancing with his guitar. 

Does anybody else remember the "Teen Club" and who they may have seen?

I remember it being called the "J C Teener Club." So, I supposed it was sponsored by the Frankfort JC's. The few times I was there I saw only local bands, like "The Astronauts!"

You mean to tell me that Chuck Berry once performed her in Frankfort?

Yes, sir.  He was just getting started and was probably taking gigs anywhere.

I wonder if they would have had this advertised in the paper?  If so I will do some searching to see if I can find anything on microfilm. 

But don't forget, back in the late 50s Chuck Berry was already a headliner.

I was still in high school, so it would be 1956 or earlier.

I also remembered it being called the "Teener Club". It would have been the mid 60's. The local band with Rick Knapp performed there and also they had records.
