I lived in Worcester Mass. back then. I have been over to watch the live taping of the show. Where is the old dude that was known as the Fashion Plate of Bay State Bowling?

HOLY WOW!! Bay State Bowling on WSMW TV Ch27!! - And w/Tom Olstza and Dave Romani(Mom said he resembled Jesus during late 70s). These 2 met more than once on CVB Ch5.

I recall Weather Report's 'Birdland', as the theme song,however i was very fond back in 1972,when Roundabout-Yes was the opening tune.

Oh yeah I been watching candlepins many years! Even with the chalkboards.

Hall of Fame match! Most people know Tommy Olszta is in (President's Cup,1987). I had never heard of Dave Romani before this was put on YouTube. I was reading through the ICBA's website, and it turns out that Dave Romani was inducted to the Hall of Fame for Competitive Ability posthumously in 2002. RIP.

You know it's the epitome of '70s cool when your theme song is Birdland :)

didn't think bay state bowling was still on when VCR's started getting popular, great to see this. One minor problem... no Bob Fouracre?????
