Interested ? contact me @ Dontjump@aol.comI thought it was the Frankenstein first. I do remember Dick driving around in is monkey fur covered Cadillac handing out fliers for his new teen only club. It was a cool place to go. It was like going to a club for adults but without alcohol being served. He also had some good bands playing there. When Dick changed it to The Maze I still went.

Interested ? contact me @ Dontjump@aol.comOh, holy moly. Papa's on Judiway at 34th was the very first bar I ever set foot in--and where I experienced live music for the first time. I still remember the name of the band: Kingdom, out of Metairie, LA. There was also The Dome Shadows out on Buffalo Speedway. And then a little bit later, The Plantation. Was that in the Heights? I think so.Such fun times.Can you not post the photos from Papa's here? I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interested ? contact me @ Dontjump@aol.comFrankinstiens had a swimming pool. It closed down and Papa Feelgoods moved from downtown Houston to there. They filled in the pool. That was the first time I bartended. Ladies bar, drinking free and making money. That was the job for me for 17 years all around Houston. Dome Shadows, Nesadels,Bullfrog and Happy Days are a few.
