Lynn, Massachusetts - 1985
In the early 80's Dutch Boy owned 2 old Mercedes Benz Bus's that transported us from town to town on our summer tour. During a particularly challenging season one of our bus's broke down on our way to a contest in Boston. For 4 days we were stuck waiting for the part to arrive to fix the bus. We had to forfeit our next 2 contests and our only relief from constant practicing on a hot paved parking lot was the daily visit by the neighbourhood ice cream delivery truck. I remember the goofy joy my friends had as they tried to breakdance to the corny tunes coming from the truck's loud speakers. |
