Uncle Charlie was having a showing of his poster art at Sig’s Lagoon on Saturday so I stopped in on my way to check out The Light Rock Express at The Big Top.
The evening was a trip down musical memory lane as I found myself in an interesting conversation about the early Houston alternative […]
The second annual Disco Expressions Prom Night at the Continenal Club was a huge success.
Sam and crew from Wear It Again Sam had setup shop in front of the club so that patrons could purchase vinatage 70’s style clothing since the show was billed as “Prom Attire Required.”
A lot of people showed up in […]
Existentialism and the Art Of Lawn Maintenance
Closed Published by Jay Lee May 13th, 2008 on The Bald HereticBack in the early 90’s I was living with my good friends John Williams and Jay Fleming in what we affectionately called The Triple “J” Ranch, a house in the Heights on Arlington Street.

Back in the 80’s I worked for Half Price Books when it was […]
Back in the day when I was doing Wake Up And Smell The Coffee on KPFT I discovered a band called Bongos, Bass and Bob which featured magician Penn Jillette on bass, and his friends Dean Seal on bongos and Rob Elk on guitar.
The album was called Never Mind The Sex Pistols and featured a […]
Picture of Greg Henkel and myself at Scarborough Fair in Waxahachie, TX circa 1989. Our second year there performing with The Flying Fish Sailors.
For some reason the song “There’s Only One Way To Rock” by Sammy Hagar has setup shot in my forebrain (prosencephalon) and keeps repeating “Crank up the drums, crank out the bass, crank up my Les Paul in your face” …
I don’t even LIKE this song! And I am certainly not a Sammy Hagar fan. […]
Back in 1995 and 1996 I organized two Celtic music events at the now defunct Rockefeller’s Nightclub.
The first event was called “Blarney Fest” and featured my band, the The Flying Fish Sailors, along with Ceili’s Muse and the first major public performance by the legendary band, Clandestine. The master of ceremonies was Jim McKenzie. The […]
