Jerry Lee Lewis, "The Killer"

Our friend Dave O'Hallaran (under the alias What Wave Records) recently posted a FB article (Aug 28, 2025) where he recalls an event in London on this date (Aug 16, 1998). Dave writes:

"Played some Jerry Lee Lewis on this week's show, which reminded me when Jerry was in town Aug 16/1988, Dr Rockits, London ON. It was a packed show and we were right up front pressed against the stage. Here's some pics."

This jogged my memory. Kate and I were at that same event with our friends Colleen, Pat and Cindy. Dr Rockits was a large bar at the corner of Wharncliffe Rd and Riverside Dr. Mostly we were there for Pat who, being a bit older, had more memories of Jerry Lee Lewis, "The Killer", than we. It's a style of "Rock'n Roll" from before my time.

I recall that we have pictures taken at the event. If you click on the image of Dave's post you can find my pictures. These were digitized in 2021 during the pandemic .... when we had a lot of time on our hands.

This note composed Sept 1, 2025 and filed for the date of the event.
