I was a band leader/drummer at a number of the Catskill Hotels. 1948, Edgewood Hotel, 1949 Shady Nook Hotel, 1950Grand Mountain Hotel, Concord Hotel. Incredible memories.
My parents would go to the Concord every summer. This was their getaway paradise. My father's gone now and when I think of the Concord, I think of it as his special place.
I remember the Concord back in the early 80's. I worked as a busboy in the main dining room between 1979 - 1982 and one of the best. Weekends, holidays and the summers. The dining room was crazy back then. Fun times. Never will forget it. Thanks for posting this.
thanks for sharing,iwas a busboy,1966,also parked cars valet,helping my friend busy fri pm,sun,pm,never will be duplicated,the scene was great,and going to the track at nite
Thank you for sharing this.I'm 46 and this tears me up that in reality all the good places to go are disappearing.I play bass in a band in NJ that plays mostly current music.For the most part, the bars are empty everywhere.I know of few bands,good or bad that are drawing well.My point is,I guess with our current economy and lackluster entertainment,the younger generation have no interest in going out,let alone attend a beautiful resort in the Catskills.Back in the heyday,wow!
