My wife Susan and I first date was at the Outhouse sometime in 1991?. Jeff Smith introduced us and left us with a Talking Terry tab each and it was off to the outhouse. Herman the German was playing and somewhere in the course of the evening I tripped off the dance floor into his big old Gretch. I proceeded to give him his 10 best paying gigs over the next decade. Susan and I are still together!

“Live at the Austin Outhouse” was a perfect Blaze album. Poorly recorded and Blaze ramblings…it was as REAL as it gets and encapsulated the Outhouse aura/aural.

Great to read about a famous Austin spot I never got to visit, as I moved away in 1970.

I was playing bass for Pocket FishRmen at the time and and I have to say that playing the Austin Outhouse was a total blast.
