Ah, the memories.
Doris Smith s eyes moistened as she looked at the shiny vintage cars parked in the William Penn Bank off Old Route 13 in Bristol Borough on Tuesday evening. A couple hundred people surrounded her, and a news helicopter flew overhead, but despite all that, Smith was back in her Pennsbury High School days in the 1960s, when the Bristol Stomp was all the rage. This is so neat. I remember some of the old cars. I got tears, remembering, she said.
Bristol celebrated its newest mural Tuesday evening, dedicating it to the thumping dance that started in its Goodwill Co. Firehouse a dance the would put the small town on the musical map when the Doo Wop group, The Dovells, named their hit song, The Bristol Stomp.
