We had the Uniques at the Minden High School Jr-Sr Prom in 1966. Had John Fred at the Pelican Boys State dance in 1966 also.

Can't say that I've talked to many performers, but I would guess a lot are assholes. I did go to a Boogie King Reunion way back in 1976 at a club in Beaumont where they must have had about fifteen ex members, including G.G. Shin. If you had to be from Eunice wouldn't you be an asshole, too.Quote:

He played almost every year at the N.O. Jazz fest until he passed.Quote:

What a bunch of crap. Not the least bit surprised you'd like some satanic worship music.Quote:
