This venue near Friendship (BWI) Airport had quite a history – The Sierra Torch Club in the ’60s-70s, radio personality Johnny Walker’s club, Mr. Pip’s and is now the Cancun Cantina – featuring country music on one side and rock music on the other side…

[Tom DiMarco, Sr.] Tommy and the Artelles. That brings back memories! We played there on a regular basis mostly sharing the stage with The Sentries. Fun times.
[Mike Lang] Played there a lot. I remember every time it rained real hard the roof leaked.
[Randy Brown] Played there when it was Mr. Pips
[George Kepler] Played there when it was Johnny Walker’s. We even learned the ‘Here’s Johnny’ theme song to play when Johnny would come out to announce different contests they had. Wet t-shirt was one of them, if memory serves me correctly. LOL
[Jim Groszer] Played at all of them even Starleigh show cases
