"I tell you, a lot of great music was on that stage. There's Flat and Scruggs, Liver Lips McGrowl, Gomer. Jimi Hendrix opened here for Vanilla Fudge. But nobody, but nobody was like the Country Bears. Huh! Place would be packed... people sitting everywhere even up in the rafters. You know, sometimes I'd up there just to hear the notes."
