nights after the dinner crowd left. Vi and her father, along with a
drummer, played and provided live music to big crowds. Vi had been dating
Geno Gattavara and Bud had a girl friend, Margie, who lived in
Oakland. Bud starting coming in to drink beer and listen to the music (he didn't dance).![]() ![]() Vi played at the dances on Saturday nights whenever she could — even after she became pregnant.
