A Fan Club Member Commented

I remember it, too, even though I was just a little guy. My dad and my uncle used to pile us kids into the car and take us down to the Highlands A & W on 112th Avenue near today’s Wayne Gretzky Drive.

We’d watch the A & W Lords, fronted by Mel Degan, play on the roof of the restaurant while teenagers danced in the parking lot. The band changed their name to the Privilege in 1966 and became one of Alberta’s hottest bands of the time.
