I saw Halll and Oates there before they had a hit record. The dance floor did light up.

Thank you for your continued support in my fathers memory. He loved those days and most of all he loved his patrons and employees. His favorite thing to do was build playgrounds for ADULTS. Find away to make the night club experience different form the average bar... He loved to watch people have fun and know he played apart in it. The one thing I learned about my father over the years was he truly enjoyed making sure other people are having a good time instead of himself. I thank you for continuing to honor ART STOCK and his legacy of night life entertainment...
Sincerely,
Tara Stock
p.s I will be back to post some slides of the good ol playpen days that i found on thousands of slides that my dad stored in our ware house I also stumbled upon the light up stage as well.. lol

Tara,
PLEASE DO show us some pics of the outside, AND the Inside of BOTH rooms! That'll bring back some great memories, Thanks,HarryG

When i dig em out of the ware house i will make sure to post some here. I know I saw boxes and boxes of them in the very back. They are on slides due to the lack of digital camera in the 70's and 80's lol.., So I will have to convert them somehow. There must be a slide / scanner machine in some electronics store. Unfortunately it may take awhile because there is a lot to sort out right now but i will make sure i post some pics of the playpen eventually. . Thanks again

I wish so much the Birch Hill and the Playpen were still here. I played both clubs with my band back in the early 90's There will never be any clubs like that ever again. I will never forget my band being one of the opening bands for Kings X. I am forever grateful to your father Art Stock for giving me an oppotunity that would otherwise have been impossible and for memories you cant put any price on.I became emotional hearing about his departure. To me the music world in NJ now seems alot less exciting..less accessable..less UNITED . I will never forget.....

To Tara Stock,

I am writing from the Netherlands. I met Art Stock several times in the late seventies, once in the Netherlands and I spent some time with him at the Jersey Shore and in Fort Lauderdale. Are you the daughter of this Art Stock? If so, I am very very sorry to hear he passed away.
I have some pictures of him that you might be interested in. Will you please let me know??

Kind regards,
Wilhelmina
