Bars/restaurants that are sorely missed

What about Cedar Palace at I-40 and Scott Street? Did you play there?

No. I didn't.

[papaOU]

Papa Ou the Red Dog...........you and my ex.....think his dad hung out at the Twilight .

BUT........BUT, we were not together..............

I never really got to know anybody at the Twilight. Didn't want. I went with some guys I worked with.

My #1 hangout was in Norman. Walter Mitty's. Wish I could get at least half of they money I spent there.

[twinkles]

Ooooh. Walter Mitty's had a Ladies Night with male strippers. Available for private parties. At least, that's what I heard.

[twinkles]

Yes I did spend time at The Red Dog.

HEY! When were you doggin'?? My husband's old band used to play at the Red Dog some.

[papaOU]

HEY! When were you doggin'?? My husband's old band used to play at the Red Dog some.

Did he and his band play at the Red Dog the same night that Walter Mitty's had ladies night? Nudge, nudge, wink, wink............

[Prunepicker]

HEY! When were you doggin'? My husband's old band used to play at the Red
Dog some.

Was the band Punkin? If not, what was it.

ahem, I played in classy bands so we never played the 'Dog. Besides we
played the Tulsa scene as well as some of the classy dives in Kansas and
Iowa.

You're thinking, "classy dives in Iowa?" I'm still trying to figure it out.

Kansas? Iowa? Those were "dry" states when you and Mr.Haney were travelin' together.

His days at the skanky dives were over when we got married. I know how those floozies look at the band ..... heck, the way they look at ANYBODY they think might have a job.

I went to Walter Mitty's twice - once for a private Christmas party, and once for a bachelorette party. Holy crap, that was some eye-opening entertainment. The women were, you know, WANTON. I just assumed the dancers were gay. LOL Not that there is anything wrong with that.

He says he vaguely remembers Punkin. I think you might be a little older than we are. His Red Dog band was Tools - playing there in the early 80's.

What were your bands?? I'm assuming there has been more than one.

[twinkles]

More info from Mr. Twinkles - they played the Long Branch, too, and some bar on I-40 and Scott Street that is called Fantasy Island, now. Can't remember what the name of it was back then.

[papaOU]

I quit going to the strip-bars when they made it against the law to fully undress. Loved to watch what some of them could do in order to pick-up a rolled dollar bill without using hands or teeth.

I don't remember the names of the bands as much as the players (I reserve
the term musician to musicians (lol)

The band I was with, that made any impact in the early 70's, was Anotar.
We (thought) we were the next Yes and were out of Tulsa.

In some respects we were an early "heavy metal" band but not anything
like AC/DC. We covered Deep Purple, Blue Oyster Cult, REO Speed Wagon,
YES, Pink Floyd and that ilk.

We never played in OKC. We were big at Whisker's and The Wharf as far
as Tulsa was concerned. I don't remember the Kansas places but "One
Block West" in Kansas City comes to mind. It was one block west of the
state line and the drinking age was 18. The bar would shut down like there
was a raid at 2am! No quarter. You were out of there. I think they'd been
raided too many times.

We should have had the agent say we were from Texas and that our name
was Drugs. You can imagine the headlines now. "Drugs from Texas!"

I'd use one of those trash picker uppers. You know, the ones with a spike that you stab the trash with.

[Prunepicker]

Punkin' was really a mid 70's cover band. They were pretty good did the
early Steely Dan tunes pretty good.

I was with a band that played the 'Dog'. In Oklahoma, back in the day, only
a hotel/motel could have a dance floor.

We'll, as luck would have it, we were all in this little room, of which there
were probably 2 others, waiting to play. We found out that we were in the
"hotel". There was a mattress - that you'd find at the county jail -don't
ask- with a stolen table and lamp from an apartment. You didn't dare sit on
the mattress- don't ask...

[Prunepicker]

Hey Twinkles,
I hope I answered your questions.

Other than that, I'm totally clueless!

Ask your husband if he remembers the "Guitar Shack" owned by a great
guitarist, Bill Landrum. And the guy that worked for him, Robin Venters.

Of course, he'd remember George Ryan at "Driver's Music". He may remember
Kenny and Lucille Driver. They were truly the musicians best friend.

[Prunepicker]

I'd use one of those trash picker uppers. You know, the ones with a spike
that you stab the trash with.

Oh good grief, memories are starting to haunt...

OUCH!

Don't know about the 90's but even into the mid-'80's you still had to have a room for rent (overnight stay) in order to have dancing. Some joints would really get hot about customers dancing! Even if it was just a chick enjoy'n herslf and the music.

[papaOU]

I'd use one of those trash picker uppers. You know, the ones with a spike that you stab the trash with.

Where would you put it to use it. Remember, no hands and no teeth?

[PennyQuilts]

I didn't use a trash picker upper - I'm saying if I DID, that is what I'd use. I'm very practical.

[papaOU]

I understand. You would be practical, but broke! Now if you were to find a way to use it you just might clean up.

Clean up!! I can't believe I said that.........

Nay, ECO would make $$$.

See ya Saturday!

You know with the above quote and the fact you started the thread on make out spots I may buy you a plane ticket just to meet you at Coit's Saturday.

[papaOU]

Since there is not a "food" thread I feel this question is apt for here.

Does anyone remember "red top" stew? I have not had any in ages. My grandfather made it and there were some local bars that served it as well as burgers and such. That was before the Herbie's Heat 'em Ups. You know? The rock hard sandwiches heated in a toaster oven? Chuck-wagon, hoagie.................

[Generals64]

Where would you put it to use it. Remember, no hands and no teeth?
