Drummer Bob Allen and guitarist Tony Kay flank Frank Maffei of Danny and the Juniors. It turns out that the Juniors (like Bobby Rydell) are all from South Philly. I had a nice time talking to Frank about South Philly's unique parking traditions.
As he stood smoking a cigarette, he mentioned that he was going to get an angioplasty on Monday.

From a Philadelphia blog:

I don’t know if his name was really Charley, and I don’t know if he was from ‘downtown’, as people in those parts call certain areas of South Philadelphia, but he had that air of a ‘made’ man. That he double-parked his car and blocked the street identified him as someone used to doing so. Double parking is a birthright in South Philadelphia.
