It was the first place I ever played in. I played there quite a few times after that.

"<i>The Greatest Roadhouse Band Ever</i>," have a greater claim to fame through Jimmy Vaughan, who was part of the T-Birds until 1989.<br /><br />Jimmy Vaughan and little brother Stevie Ray were the the greatest guitarist brother team that I know of- perhaps something for Unorganized Hancock to shoot for. Jimmy Vaughn played with The Fabulous Thunderbirds until 1989. Little brother Stevie Ray Vaughan - what can I say. Here he performs <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWLw7nozO_U" rel="nofollow">Texas Flood</a>. Stevie Ray and ex-T-Bird Jimmy put out an album in 1990: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJFXAkfOiME&list=PL207EB5347B861CB0" rel="nofollow">Family Style</a>.

The first band I was ever in for money played all sorts of Junior Wells/Buddy Guy songs. It's such an urban/gutbucket combo.

I enjoyed their live concerts and fifties nostalgia was perfectly placed in the seventies. I know less than nothing @ music, but it strikes me that eighties nostalgia now is a less than perfect spin of that.Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-43530394408975199512014-03-13T02:02:18.783-04:002014-03-13T02:02:18.783-04:00Oh yass:
