Then it sounds like the Paladium Club is ruled out as a possibility. The other well known venues in the early/mid 1950's either don't fit the description or their location is wrong.
I still haven't found any info that disc jockey Biff Collie broadcast a live talent show from a bar in Houston. It's strange that if this Hitching Post cowboy bar was famous for giving country singers and musicians their start, no one seems to remember it.
This is all so interesting! I wasn't born until 1969 and although I've heard bits and pieces about Dad's career back in the Houston days, I've learned a lot just in reading this thread. I wish I could contribute some answers. I wish he were still around because he'd be able to answer it!
The tv show that's been mentioned....THAT must've been the show where Dad was demonstrating how he could put his leg behind his head and, um, had a rather "explosive" reaction, live, on the air.
