Entertainment At PMR Night At Disneyland

Having some computer difficulties....so I missed posting over the weekend. These two images feature the bands that played for the enjoyment of the PMR families. First up is a day shot with the Dateniters playing in the band.

Next up is the Spacemen with Kay Bell on the Tomorrowland stage.

Is that Kay Bell in both photos? Do the Dateniters know that she is two-timing them with the Spacemen?

In entertainment, you often work with several groups. The Rillera's were the Spacemen; and also the backup band for The Richeous Brothers, Ray Charles, members of Dick Dale & The DelTones, Red Eye, and others. I listen to the radio one day and while different groups, 6 of 8 songs I heard, I know the Rillera's performed on.

Almost forgot, I heard Kay Bell & The Spacemen many nights at D-Land. After she left them, my friend Bobby Hatfield did a walk-on one day with the "former" Spacemen; on the Tomorrowland temporary stage; while the new stage was being built.

That's my aunt ... Kay Strother (the younger of the Bell Sisters, an RCA recording group in the early 1950s). They took my grandmother's maiden name, Bell, for their act. Had a small hit in 1952 with "Bermuda" - which Kay's older sister, Cynthia Strother, wrote.

I have never seen these photos before! I would love copies for our family files.

Here's a large image of Kay and the Spacemen I posted on FB on the Bell Sisters band page:
