Default Afternoon Delight...

Before the genesis of the Starland Vocal band...Bill Danoff was sitting at a table in his friend's restaurant....Clyde's of Georgetown and noticed a napkin with the words and a short menu ..."Afternoon Delights" he started making some notes (lyrics) on the napkin and thus wrote his No. 1 Hit song. He later recorded the song in several versions in the early 70's and finally with Denver's recording and publishing company and did it at one of his many appearances at the legendary Cellar Door. Later someone asked him if the meaning of the song was a "Nooner" and he had never heard the word.??? While touring with Denver in large arenas, Starland opened for Denver...and had the No. 1 record....Denver had nothing on the charts at that time. Brings back many memories.
