TOSMA, HOFA, SARATEEN

[Tom Prestigiacomo]

They were 3 of the Sunday night mixers available from the late 60's and early 70's. The acronyms stood for:
Teens Of (the) St, Matthews Area... Holy Family Teen Club and St. Raphael teen club... which ones did I miss?
And, the bands that played them, like the Alphabetical Order, The Wulf Brothers and what ever happened to Beau Hampton? He played trumpet with Tom Dooley and the Love Lights.

Any other clubs/ bands come to mind?

There was the place in Shively. Newman Lodge? Did Gypsy Village have anything on Sundays? It seems as if there were dozens on Friday and Saturdays. Whispering Hills comes to mind.

Well, Tom Dooley is coming in from Dallas for the reunion. Bo Hampton still lives in his old family home in Louisville.

Don't forget SABAR (St. Bartholomew) in Buechel and MARTEEN (St. Stephen Martyr) over off of Poplar Level. I wasn't Catholic and had to fake which parish I attended to get in. I'm sure we saw each other from time to time. I ran into teen club regular and heart throb, Jackie Arnold, not too long ago. He's retired from the police force.
Thanks for stirring the memories!

Regarding Bo, he actually played sax with the Lovelights, he's now a traveling drummer, playing an assortment of venues nationwide. If your interested in any of the others in this Louisville legend, just ask.
