Soon he and his band are the house band for the legendary Sixties Disc Jockey Scot Muni at Scot's entry into the nightclub business, which opened in 1965 called The Rolling Stone Disco. From there, the band became the matinee house band at the legendary Big Band Dixieland nightclub on Broadway called The Metropole Cafe.

Within months, an LP is released (which is still in demand today). Sadly, he also discovers that with all of its pomp and glory, being a musician in those days carried subtle risks as well.
