I've heard that Corll also lived in a couple of apartment complexes on the west side — Yorktown apartments on Yorktown between San Felipe and Westheimer and Woodway Square apartments on Woodway near Voss. Can anyone verify this?

I picked up an awesome black Liberty Hall t-shirt at the Texas Junk Company in the Fourth Ward a couple of weeks ago. They had a few left. I met the owner of the Junk Company named Robert and he used to run with the Liberty Hall crowd... worked there in fact. He told me a story of giving Ravi Shankar a ride from the airport to Liberty Hall as well as seeing the New York Dolls play there in '74. Does this guy ring a bell for anyone?

Here's a good blog with some info on KFMK. http://theragblog.bl...s-houstons.html More here too: http://scarletdukes....hou_radio1.html The bumper sticker scan on that blog page isn't the one I remember though which had a psychedelic male face with the words KFMK Wow! or something like that.

Briargrove Elementary is very sought after and considered to be one of the area's top schools.

It seems the Loews was showing grindhouse features by this time in it's history. "Disciples of Death" from Hong Kong and "A Man for Hanging".

Alex Bennett: "The man you love to hate" Several mp3 audio file airchecks of Alex Bennett/James Bond at this site The Vasthead Houston Retro Radio. Many other KILT and Houston radio airchecks at that site also.

For those of us who are old enough to remember this and how it was covered by the local Houston media at the time, it will always be one of the most horrific events of a lifetime.

What was the scene at "The Hill"? Hippies hanging out smoking weed?

I think a film about Houston music from that era would be fantastic. It may be a tough rode to get it made, but go for it!

Does anyone know the date Liberty Hall opened? Sometime in '70 maybe?

I heard the HISD sold the property.

I found it on this page along with more info about his Liberty Hall '74 shows. Looks like Bruce had played in the South earlier that year btw. http://www.brucebase.org.uk/gig1974.htm

I had never heard that there was someone else (another boy) in the Pasadena house that night. Not to say there wasn't. I wonder if Ch. 13 checked police records to verify if this guy was actually there 35 years ago.

I was at that WFL game too. As I recall Matuszak suited up but did not play after he was served the restraining order. I think he was still under contract to the Oilers at the time. Matuszak used to work out at my high school (Robert E. Lee) when he was first with the Oilers. I also saw the Deep Purple/J. Geils Band concert at the Dome in the summer of '74. I recall seeing a polo match played there in the mid-sixties!

Would be interested in hearing more of these interesting and verifiable things regarding Corll...
