The Drifters of Victoria & Blue Denim

The Central Music dance hall scene in the last half of the 1900s was still a vibrant dance scene es having a plentiful quantity of venues to visit. The scene was still regional as there were enough venues for bands to perform in without driving a hundred miles one way to play and still make money. The regions were the Victoria-DeWitt-Lavaca Counties; Fort Bend, Wharton, Jackson Counties, Washington, and Austin Counties, and Colorado and Fayette Counties. Bands from each area, pretty much stayed in that area, due to financial and physical restraints, and developed strong followings in their area. This pretty much explains why this writer from Fayette County, never experienced The Drifters of Victoria, despite their fifty plus-year run performing just south of Fayette County, as the band never really needed to travel that far.
