  1. Yes, some of you are correct on the place. When I moved there in the late 70's it was the first place I was taken by co workers showing off the city. Cody's. A super good place for live music. And yes, the band's stage was in a back corner of the room which was a wall of glass in both directions. With the city skyline behind just a short distance away with incredible architecture forming one of the prettiest skylines anywhere. The balcony's, check. Both fun with super views of the nighttime skyline. Perfect during fall or early spring. The summers were just too damn hot to be outside for very long, even at night. The building was a 10 story building and the elevator took you straight to the top floor and opened into the club. The food was good, the atmosphere fun and one bartender could make a mean Margarita. Another fantastic place for jazz ( later other forms of music from big name acts) was Rockfeller's. Located in the old Heights State Bank Building. Susie and Sanford Criner were the owners and built it into one of the best clubs in town. Another favorite music venue was Fitzgerald's. It was located in what was once "The old Polish Hall", or something like that. Food and bar downstairs, upstairs had the large stage and dance floor and held a rather large crowd. On nights when groups like Stevie Ray Vaughn were playing the crowd was rocking. Being downstairs you could see the floor above bouncing up and down. Houston had a pretty good club scene. Does anyone else remember the "Pimp and Whore" parties? They traveled around town to different venues that hosted that years event.
