Same Ol' Buzzard
Yes I remember it well. Our Boy Scout troop took several vacation trips to Galveston between '64 & '68 and we always stayed at a motel not far from the Bamboo Hut. Those walls looked like and probably were just sheets of bamboo stuck in the sand. I was too young to go in though, and had to return (with my buddies) to the motel in time for supper. We had a curfew after that and the Scoutmasters (some were priests) kept a good eye on us.Willie -I meant to ask earlier, the Bamboo Hut, were you in Galveston in the mid 60's. The Bamboo Hut was located right on the beach and was mobbed on weekends.
Here is a picture that I found (not mine) from what appears to be '67 or '68 of the place. It was legendary in its time.
I don't offhand recognize the band, but it may have been The Boogie Kings from Louisiana. Dig those ladies outfits!
