Not so long ago the rich baritone of Charlie Pride's voice, the rockabilly beats of Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks and the brassy tones of Louis Armstrong's trumpet echoed over Lake Erie. These famous musicians were but a few that travelled to the lakeside community of Port Dover to perform at the famous concert venue, the Summer Garden.
On today’s podcast, tune in to hear how Ben Ivey turned his vision of a dance hall over the lake into a reality. In the early days not only was there an admission fee, but a fee to dance! Yet people flocked from all over and happily paid the fees so that they could be a part of the historic Summer Garden.
