Recently I was contacted by Sevan Garabedian who is currently co-producing a documentary concerning the famous Winter Dance Party Tour and its February 6, 1959 stop at Danceland in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Sevan located several pictures from The Winter Dance Tour’s Feburary 6, 1965 show at Danceland on Kathy’s Wall. We have since exchanged information and Sevan is now an active contributor to Kathy’s Wall. There is a link on Kathy’s Wall dedicated to The Winter Dance Party Tour.
As Sevan says, “Rave On ”

Grew up in Central Iowa, in and around Des Moines. As a young child I was influenced by jazz, via my mother's record collection. My first concert was probably a jazz concert in the Rose Garden at the Des Moines Art Center. My mother passed away listening to music.
At around 14 I began to attend "rock" shows. First one, The Denver Pop Festival at Mile High Stadium in Denver Colorado. It was here that many of my musical preferences were born. Besides being tear gassed, I was introduced to The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Frank Zappa and The Mothers, Iron Butterfly and Tommy Bolin with Zepher, to name a few. The festival is most memorable as the final Jimi Hendrix Experience performance. It was also the precursor to Woodstock.
In the years to follow I attended concerts regularly in the Midwest, from Minneapolis to Chicago. Too many to recall, unless you ask...
In December 2010 I began iamnotjerry.com. The name came from years of people stating, "Hey Jerry, you are alive" at concerts and festivals, the purpose remained the same, help support "LIVE" Music.
