“The first Hullabaloo Club we went to was in Asbury Park. I walked in one night with my pal Mike Paterson, and onstage were Sonny and Starfires, featuring at the drums a pre-“Mad Dog” Vincent Lopez. All Chuck Berry and rockabilly blues, Sonny, a good looking guy with greased blond hair and black Ray-Ban sunglasses, really knew what he was doing. (He still plays in the area today, as cool as ever.)”

– Bruce Springsteen
