Bombers

Artist: Bombers
LP: 12" single
Song: "(Everybody) Get Dancin'"
[ listen ]

Here's a terrific 1979 disco single on West End Records that I found (still sealed!) for $1 at the Goodwill in Mitchell, South Dakota—you know, just before I went to The Corn Palace. I stayed the night at a neat little place called the Coach Light Motel; they still had a bunch of old motel souvenir postcards for sale in the office for a dime. The place evidently hasn't changed much over the years, as you can see. I was in unit #20 on the far right; here's what it says on the back of the postcard:

COACH LIGHT MOTEL
1000 West Havens

Mitchell, South Dakota 57301

Just off West I-90 Interchange. Tub-showers, hot
water heat, color TV and AC in each of our 20
units. All family and personal services within two
blocks. For the perfect night of rest and relaxation.
For reservations phone (605) 996-5686.
Your hosts — Bob & Betty Dixon

  1. What a pity we didn't know then to preserve our clouds. Who would know they'd all disappear!
