her party, every guy in the place,
including me, tried to find out what
planet she fell from. The slight
advantage that I had was out of the
12 people who accompanied her, I
kind of knew one of them.
Fortunately, Lester was involved in a
wine tasting and didn't realize that
the longest band break in the history
of the Chop House was about to
begin. It took me quite a while to
work my way up from this remote
family friend to the second grand
prize. . . Gail's mother, now your
grandmother. I figured that if I could
get to her mother, and tell her that
music was my hobby, but I was really
a lawyer, I just might get the official
Jewish introduction.
"It worked. Gail stayed in Detroit
and became a very successful, high
fashion, photographic model, and we
were married exactly six months after
that night..Her mother, however, still
thinks I'm a lawyer.
"I left the Chop House during the
late '70s and took my band to a new
club on Northwestern Highway in
Southfield called the Vineyards Annex.
We stayed there for two years and
then opened a hot new club call
Yesterday's, located in the former
Sheraton-Southfield Hotel. My band
performed six nights a week to stand-
ing-room-only crowds. We were there
for five years. Yesterday's once received
the distinction of being the highest-
grossing dance club of its size in the
country.
"Then one day, I received a call
from Lainie and Max Pincus, who had
just purchased the London Chop
House. The allure was too great to
turn down. I returned to the Chop
House with my band and performed
there through most of the '80s.
"Lainie and Max Pincus did a won-
derful job of maintaining the excel-
lence and mystique of the Chop
House, but times and geography
began to change. In 1989, they sold
the Chop House to the Heritage
Investment Group, which made a gal-
lant attempt at rekindling a flame that
no longer glowed. The Chop House,
sadly became a "fated legend" and by
1992, had just played itself out. But
what an incredible performance!
When the London Chop House final-
ly closed that year, an era closed with
it. Those who were the most intimate
with its history, knew there could
never be an encore.
"Jason and Lauren looked at each
other, and almost in unison said:
`Dad, this booth is uncomfortable. Do
you think we can move to a table?'" ❑
