Bathhouses - The Golden Age

Eleanor Steber Live at the Continental Baths. Every one received a black towel and black tie when they entered the baths that night. I 'm the blonde in front of Ms. Steber. 1974

Steve Ostrow the owner of the Continental Baths is seated in the peacock chair. Eleanor Steber was a world famous opera star at the time and lived in the building above the Continental Baths. (The Ansonia at 74th Street and Broadway.)

Here is a better Image

I was there for her concert and had a front row seat because her concert fell in the middle of my six-week Saturday night engagement doing my cabaret act at the Continental Baths January / February 1974. That photo was staged for the album cover a few days after the concert and I just happened to be there that afternoon to reset lights and sound for my act on Saturday and was asked by Steve Ostrow if I would hand the bouquet of roses to Ms. Steber from the pool. The two guys sitting by the pool to my left and right were the pianist and cellist for my act.

Thank you, I also worked on an off Broadway from 1969 to 1978. I was the only original cast member in both productions of Jesus Christ Superstar 1971 & 1976. Here is a Photo from a rehersal of the 1971 production with Tom O'Horgan, Ben Vereen, Ted Neeley and me.

and in between my gigs in show business I co-owned and managed a gay bar on the upper west side of Manhattan called Warehouse Peir 51 here is an article from the November Issue of Mandate Magazine.
