The Friday night dances at the K of C hall were crowded, lively and exciting. Dick Robinson was the best known and best liked DJ in the area. He knew how to draw a crowd on the air, and at the record hop. He was a tall man with an outsized personality. He was great with words, with relating to teenagers, and to bands.
He often brought bands to the Friday night dances who were up and comers in the rock business. Looking back, when one hears a list of the bands that he had come to Windsor Locks for the Friday night dance, one thinks: "Wow, those are all big names." They weren't when they played at those dances, but they did become big names later. They included: Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs, Question Mark and the Mysterions, and the Cowsills.
