http://www.OracleBand.netI remember the Golden 40 well, but it wasn't the one that was originally asked about. Golden 40 was almost to Edgewood on Route 40, and hosted show bands on weekends and that great Baltimore band Paper Cup on Thursdays.
I was with one of the show bands that played there, called Pinoy. My most vivid memory of the place was that we used to use a concussion device at the end of our floor show that used to blow ceiling tiles out of the ceiling ;-) Scared the hell out of everyone in the club. Can't get away with that stuff anymore, but man, we had a great time playing there.
I also remember they had a regular DJ there that got murdered...stabbed to death. This would have been in the early 1980s.
The place was demolished quite some time ago...I think a drug store sits on the property now.
