"Ten to get yourself in" was true back in the 60's. They had a lot of nice girls down there who all said they
were from Houston and they wanted you to feed your quarters into the Juke box. If you claimed you had
only $8 they'd give you the discounted throw. LOL!
BTW: Fuck Marvin Zindler Eyewitness News. Ruined a damn good thing for womanless A&M. But Broadway & Hollywood made a mint off it.
WIKI: The "Chicken Ranch" story
Zindler made local and national headlines when he and fellow journalist Larry Conners reported on a long-lived brothel known as the Chicken Ranch in Fayette County, Texas, near La Grange, which led to its closure in 1973. The Chicken Ranch story was featured in a 1973 edition of Texas Monthly magazine,[6] two 1974 issues of Playboy magazine, was the basis for the Broadway and film musical The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, in which the character of Melvin P. Thorpe was based on Zindler. It also served as the basis of the song "La Grange" by ZZ Top. The closing did not go well with the sheriff of Fayette County, Jim T. Flournoy, who later attacked Zindler in a fight that left Zindler with two fractured ribs, along with a snatched toupee. Reportedly, Flournoy waved the hairpiece in the air as if it were a prized enemy scalp and threw it in the street.[3]
Governor Dolph Briscoe closed the operation, only to have it open again after a few months. Then Zindler stepped in to shed more light on the operation, which led to its being closed for good.

@axe one need not apologize for Any thing that is Rush. Neil alone is worth more than most bands.

Billy Gibbons is such an under appreciated guitarist.

What is under appreciated is that the only member of ZZ Top that does not have a beard is named Frank Beard.

So do any of you think this might be where Easy Rider actually began? Old time Texas Blues guitarist Blind Lemon Jefferson.

Did Jimi Hendrix like Billy?
Look it up

Out of the blue my cousin on Lopez Island in the Washington Sound sent me this rare recording including Stevie Ray.

And two legends who died only two years apart. Think they're playing up there together? Hope so. ??
