Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: The big beat and the big twist. Shaking in a shaky perch Astrid Lasota does her wild interpretations of go-go dancing to the accompaniment of Richie Cates; a guitarist with big beat music-makers David Clayton Thomas and the Shays. The setting is the Friars; a medieval styled nightspot that intoroduced the dance craze to Toronto.
