WHO IS THIS MYSTERIOUS DANCER?
Why its none other than Gene Lean - the Dancing Machine of Wicker Park, in Chicago.
These clips popped up recently in Internet-Land... and I must say, they are quite hysterical. I don't know the full story behind these clips but I can recognize the voices in the background.. seriously, its a guy I used to work with!
The corner our dancer is on is in Wicker Park... otherwise known as GroovyTown. Its a small neighborhood on North and Damen in Chicago. Its a very high energy part of town and the clubs number the crowded streets. Its a fun place to live and its very interesting -- er, that is to say, ever a dull moment.
I used to haunt this area whenever I got the chance. The Rolling Stones played not far from this corner at the Double Door just a few years ago. Echobelly played there too now that I think of it. There is a great record store near here called, The Quaker Goes Deaf. This is also the same neighborhood where Lenny Bruce got arrested for obscenity back in the late 1950's, No JOKE..... There used to be a Wax Traxx record store near this corner at one time.
