CommentLocation is unconfirmed and no newspaper advertisements have been found for this date, and it would have been a very long drive from the previous gig in Chicago .Keesler AFB had a dedication for a new NCO Club on this date. If the band had been flown in, this eliminates the travel distance problem and explains the lack of advertising. It sounds like a sparsely-attended ballroom event, and the atmosphere fits what a mid-week Air Force base event might have been like.
