Memories of the good old days of dancing a quarter of a century ago, when everybody was there at 8 p.m., dressed to the nines, determined hot to miss a dance until 3 a.m. at least, will be recalled by this photo of Sy Kamona and his orchestra at a Wairoa function in 1936. Left to right are Sid Tawera (piano), Reg Bennett (violin), Weti Te Ao Tamihana (sax), --. Kamona (sax). Abe Terauna (drums) and Sy Kamona (sax, leader).
