Some interesting history at the Tidelands discovered while watching a PBS special on Bob Newhart's career last night: His career was launched from relative obscurity by an album "The Button Down Mind of Bob Newhart" - recorded live at the Tidelands Hotel in Houston in 1960. This smash hit album started a new genre in the recording industry, put the Warner Brothers label on the map, and led to Bob Newhart getting his first TV show.
