So glad you could make it tonight, and join the KC Matchgirl at Taylor's Supper Club in Lakewood, Colorado. From 1948 through 1982 , owner Sammy Toole booked the best musical comedy performers to his famous venue and served 500 dinners on a busy Saturday night.
The regular house band, The Taylors, represented on the matchcover, were popular enough to make recordings that were autographed and sold at the club so patrons could play the album on their hi-fi (stereo) back home. Through the magic of today's internet, the recordings can be found on eBay and a home-movie band performance can be viewed on YouTube.
The marque at Taylor's went dark when the owner decided he didn't like the performing acts that were available in the early 80's. The building was sold and later operated as various discos and nightclubs before becoming vacant.
In 2001, the building was remodeled and reopened as the Rocky Mountain Endoscopy Center, housing multiple physicians and specialists. Many a patient, while sitting in the gastroenterologist's office, can reminisce back to the days when the building was filled with diners, drinkers, and dancers instead of doctors.
