I sometimes wonder where I got all the energy I had back in the 70's & 80's. I was not living in Dallas, but I had a good 15 year + plus run up there in the evenings. A good bit of that time was spent running from one end of Greenville Ave to the other.
One of those stops was: Bowley & Wilson, last time I checked for their website it was not up -- just found it up now.

You're talking about Up Your Alley. Went there New Year's Eve '78. We slid home, then woke up the next morning freezing my tail off because power was out, pretty much city-wide.

my first apartment in dallas was at skillman & abrams at "the way"...b & w used to be regulars at a small club right across the street and i walked to & from it many nights (which was a good thing)...

One of my first dates with my now ex was at B&W's. OMG.. he actually was picked from the audience to sing "Old Man Lucas." <Those of you that know, know...>
ps... not whinging about my ex.. he's really a decent guy...

b & w's show was a great test for a 1st date...if she didn't laugh after a few beers during their show i kinda new the end of their show was the end of 'relationship'....

I saw John last weekend. He re-wrote the lyrics to Lucy for the Ben Wheeler Hog Festival. I haven't heard them, but I can imagine.
B&W;'s own place is now that Baker's Ribs there on Greenville, but I saw them first at Up Your Alley. We were 19, most of us had never been east of Six Flags, and I'd never seen SMU sorority girls before. We stayed till last call, and I drove home with a shower of sparks coming from my '74 Monte Carlo. Like an idiot I'd parked on that incline there on Yale, and set my parking brake - which was still on all the back to Ft. Worth.
BTW...the burgers at Milo's are maybe better than ever. Ate there last week.
there was a group I believe from Arkansas that used to play there in the late '70s from time to time and I think their name was "Little Blue Footballs" or something similar, anybody remember ??

I do remember seeing them at Up Your Alley at least once and some other bands as well.
