My daddy was from Denver Harbor & grew up on Lockwood Inn barbecue. My grandpa & daddy ate there so much that all the employees knew them.  Then daddy grew us up on this barbecue. There was/is no comparsion to any other barbecue. I am 50 yrs old & living in E. TN now & you brought sweet memories spent with my daddy back. Thank you for that

Talk about memories. Growing up in the 70's in Houston myself, I would have to agree with you on the best music ever was Mundo Earwood who I forgot about Randy Corner Roy Head Gene Watson (by the way has a brand new CD out).Thanks for bringing back the music of 1970 in Houston.

Have really enjoyed reading these posts about 70's music in Houston. I remember Randy Cormer, Issac Payton Sweat, and the others. I was too young to go to the clubs mentioned but I was a faithful listener to KIKK & KNUZ when they were on the air.Love music to this day especially classic country. Favorite is still Gene Watson and his new CD is one of his bests love it.

Just wanted to throw this out there. Does anyone remember the Icehouse in Pasadena I think that is what they called it in the 70's they were always talking about that place on the radio. Would love to know if its still there and would love to see a pic. Thanks

If you have photos of these places and/or memorabilia from them, please post.

HoustonHistory.com is a great site for lots of old pics. His site is amazing.

I was the original drummer in the Southern Comfort Band. My buddy, Tony Taliaferro, hired Freddie Pate and they played all over for years as the Tony Taliaferro Band. I knew Randy Corner and Texas Cookin pretty well. Randy was an incredible guitar player, and was offered a national tour, but he had a serious dislike of travel!Randy preferred to play locally, and today is still in the North side of Houston I believe. Someone had mentioned Randy is nearly blind, but he has had an eye condition his entire life where his eye lashes actually grow inward...he was always wearing shades at night!

Tony Taliaferro moved to Nashville 25 years ago, made a couple of albums, was Dottie West's Band until her death, and today is married to Louise Dorsey (Frank Dorsey aka Englebert Humperdink's daughter).

I still play everyday in my music studio at home, have a much nicer kit than was available back in the 70's, but really miss Gene Watson, Mundo Earwood, Randy Corner, Roy Head, Johnny Rodriquez,Eddie Marshall, tons of others... and all the joints we played. I really believe the best music live and recorded came out of the 70's.
