Original Toronto Star caption: Mama Chikie does her thing at the Coq d'Or as probably the oldest go-go dancer. She has become a Wednesday night institution in the swirl of psychedelic lights as her ample hips sway and her ample elbows jerk to the eardrum-rending rock music on part of stage reserved for her.
