Don't forget one of the biggest DJs at that club in the late 70s, Paul Curtis! If I remember correctly I think he was also a Billboard Reporter.

Hey Boys,

I wasn't there in the 70's, I was still in grade school! But when I moved to Seattle I lived with Bobby Hennis, who was the last great DJ at The Brass Connection (also known as The a** Infection, or The Crass Infection; take your pick), right after Lee Hartell, who went on to work at Celebrities Bar & Grill. And Randy "Della" McCreary, don't forget him!(I believe he's still spinning in Spokane at J.S. Pumps. It was a fun club, I got to spin there a few times. Did you know the turntables were not attached to the building, but mounted on a pole that went down into the ground? There was always a hunky guy working the door, I do remember that! Crystal Lane ruled supreme there as resident drag queen.

Actually, I was one of the last djs to work there. I'm John England and worked for Bru. Sadly, it was on its last legs and was not very pretty...this was in the mid 90s as I recall.

Hello to the fun people who used to visit the Connection, I worked on the sound system at the connection during the rein of DJ Lee or DJ Nomad as he called himself later, we are still friends, we completely reworked the system from top to bottom, I remember the first time I worked on the system they had blown out all four of the midrange speakers, we had them rebuilt in one day the glue was still wet when we reinstalled them, when we got done the system created so much sound pressure it would force air out of an empty beer bottle, we also moved the complete DJ booth across the dance floor WHEW I was sweating bullets that saturday, I started at 6AM and after everyone else showed up after many frantic phone calls we finished at 6PM I was to pooped to party that night. I miss those days drinking komakazis in the booth next to Lee, the best days where when Neighbors was closed for a remodel the Connection ruled, the line would go out on the street.

I remember seeing Sylvester and Two Tons of Fun at the Brass Door in the late 70s. I was managing a bath house Called The Pines, located on Pine St. We had our bath house tapes made by djs from the Door.

Sad to report that another Brass Connection DJ, Buster Meston, just passed away. If anyone wants more info, contact me at Northwest Dance Music Association.
