cellar reunion

speaking of jamarama, a reunion of musos who played at the cellar, a legendary cowtown nightspot where loads of local players cut their teeth between '58-'73 (and where jfk's security detail notoriously dallied the night before his assassination, as noted in the warren report) will be held at the ridglea on sat'day, feb. 10th. the event will be hosted by former manager jimmy hill, with 8mm home movies, a slideshow, dancing girls (in the day, cellar waitresses wore a "uniform" of bras and panties and would occasionally strip, as would female patrons of the j'int; not sure how wesley and richard are gonna handle thisun), and "cellar drinks" (presumably including everclear -- bleaggghhh!). performers include blues daddy arvel stricklin (whose website has a wealth of cellar history), rocky hill (who played gtr in the american blues with his brother dusty of zz top fame), the band l.b. stone (featuring point blank dude rusty burns), the neurotic sheep (fronted by mike harrison, a coupla whose bands were on the fort worth teen scene comp), the dream (featuring shuffle king bugs henderson), and a jam with special guests that'll include bloodrock toonsmith john nitzinger. anyone into '70s blooze-drenched gtr ramalama is encouraged to attend.
