Sittin' Bull

I was 18 and new to town.I was a blues fan, but Antones was yet to open.There was not much of a blues scene yet.I heard that the band to see was Storm.I checked the paper and saw they were playing a place called Sittin' Bull.Imagine my surprise as this 18 year old walks into a topless bar for the first time.The guitarist was excellent..some pony-tailed guy named Jimmie Vaughn.Lewis Cowdery played harp and sang.The late,great Freddie Pharoah Walden on drums.Sorry I forget the bassists name,but I believe he later played with Anson Funderburgh for years{so did Freddie].Weeks later,Jimmie Vaughn and Kim Wilson started a new band,and Antones opened.A historic summer for sure.
