Glimpse of Rory seen through an appreciative crowd at JB Scotts on this day in 1979. Photo taken by Pam Villano."It was actually tables we were sitting at and course when he got on stage people stood up and me being 5'2 didn't help and the camera I had sucked!! Lol! The stage was in the middle and tables circled him we were in two tables from the stage.. I wish the photos were clearer!" — Pam Villano
