Pat Byrne recently told a great story of his arrival day in Austin several years ago. He arrived with guitar, knowing no-one, asked the cab driver to take him to a bar with music...wherever he took him was dead,,, but Winker walked in, saw him, asked what was up...and took him to Donn's. It was a Monday night....
What the Continental Club (late 80's reopened version) was to me, Donn's Depot was to my. parents - their home away from home where they could get some grub and get their boogie woogie on. And I mean that in the best way.

Small spelling correction. Mandolinist extraordinaire playing with Gage and Albert is Paul Glasse, not Grasse.

Great stuff! Especially appreciate the info about Carlos Montoya, Jose Greco, and Adrian Quesada!
Very funny . Reminds me of my late friend Don who loved going there. Thanks again and keep them coming.
