This is some old 8mm film I shot back in 1973ish. Mostly bandmates from the band Valhalla, old friends and way too much footage of where I worked at the time (Girlie Pancake House). Really random and boring but it does include Bob Evatt, Randy Brewer, Kerry Keim, Lane Steele, John Coley, Janet Fryberger (and her dog... and a frame of her mom), Carol Newsome, Popeye, Airplane, Pete Polsgrove and a cast of thousands. KZfaq wouldn't let me upload any old band cover songs (copyright) so I have looped an old instrumental of mine.

I graduated from Norman High in 1972. What a fun town to grow up in! A great era in history, too! I lived at 428 W. Himes st. We could hear the band on game days from there.

I think that's the year my fam moved from NJ to Norman. I loved that little town. I did what today would be called child labor at Cosmo's Bakery in the Hollywood Shopping Center near the Safeway and of course Larry's Hobby Store. Watched the "Planet of the Apes", "Bambi", "Dumbo", and of course "The Sound of Music", all at the Hollywood Theater across the street. I can't remember if the last movie I saw there was "Stripes" or "Firefox".

I played in a rock band at the Purple Onion in Norman circa 1973-1974. The owner collected Hudson automobiles, and we hit it off because I drove one around town. Often wondered what happened to that club and the owner. His name was K Denton, as I recall.

I worked at Girlie Pancake in 1973-74, dishwasher, graveyard shift. Had a crush on the waitress in the black '59 Chev, can't recall her name, now. We would go down to the Canadian River after work to drink beer. Brenda Laney was manager, never gave me a hard time. The cook was an arab guy, I think his name was Mir. Don't remember you, Joe, what was your job?

from the younger generation of normanites, I loved this and it was very inspiring to think people like me have been here before and enjoyed the same type of memories I am making now.

Thanks so much for the video - brings back a lot of memories. I attended NHS 1973 -1974 (only), and worked at Girlie Pancake House on Lindsey after graduation. Yes, Brenda Laney was the manager; Terri Johnson (I think) was night manager; cooks I recall were Mir and Paul Zizzo. Joe, I think I might have known you - did your band rehearse in a house near the east end of Garver (near Pickard)?

that's great that you guys reunited on youtube.. was curious if you guys met IRL and caught up. This video is a piece of history. I'm from OKC though, but I can recognize the value. Please ensure that this is well preserved. Put it in a USB drive, and put that USB in a suitcase that is protected by lead (EMP protection).. it'll stay preserved for future generations.

Oh one more Norman memory. When my parents were looking for a house to buy everyone would say. Don't move to Moore! They get ALL the tornadoes. Darn that's held for 40 years now.

@bobnighthawk I agree! It was a wonderful place and a magical time. Was it you who supplied the radio that played in Girlie's kitchen? What a supreme privilege it was to listen to the Dr. Demento Show at work. Thank you so much for jogging my memory.
