Austin All Stars at Alliance Wagon Yard were on a Sunday. They then moved to Steamboat 1874 for Monday's for a very long run. I'd also add Ernie Sky & the K Tels at Hut's on 6th St. on Wednesdays.

T G BAD /Denny Freeman group at the Saxon Pub, June 2012-late March 2020, was a blast from the past,a taste of Old Austin,even though in modern times....

Forget to mention - this happened in 1970... :)

Another awesome story! One thing it reminded me of - from my one and only Austin experience: the people who put me and two buddies up for the night warned us emphatically about the cops and the heavy sentences for the slightest little baggie of pot. Does this aspect come out anywhere in your book? I'm thinking of course of what could have happened to all those folks out back during the break...

I thought SRV also played the Rome Inn, but on Sundays.

That's a good catch. I thought I had him Wednesday at the Continental. But I just put him at the Rome with Lou Ann Barton.
