Bass Awkwards
Montery, California
John Horn-Owner/Operator
Manager-Bigg Edd
Was a local Teen Disco, due to the fact, John was not old enough to own an adult Disco. Coming from a "well-to-do" family living in Carmel, John wanted to get into big business, but at the time was under 21. So he started his own "DISCO." The club was highly successful. As you entered the club, you had to step up 12 large white steps and entered a long (25') mirrored hallway, which opened into the large dance hall. The dance hall had a hugh wooden dance floor and the walls were covered with black drap fire proof curtains. The DJ was about 8' above the crowd and had (for its time) fantastic equipment and lights. The "bar" served great soda's and treats, but could not serve the hard stuff. When it opened the club hired through a local security service, its "bouncer" - "Bigg Edd." Edd was well liked by John and eventually John offered the position of Manager to Bigg Edd. The club was opened four nights a week. But, Fri and Sat, was standing room only, with people standing outside...begging to get in. The club did not last long, only alittle over a year and a half. But, during that time, it was always Dancin'. Eventually, John went on to bigger and better things, when he became 21. Bigg Edd, who was in the military, moved on to Europe. The club's workers; The Chinn Bros. had a successful father in Carmel, who did paintings, and they eventually went back to Carmel.
