Listed in “Readers recall clubs where they danced to Louisiana Music” from The Daily Advertiser, December 29, 1998: “Readers of The Daily Advertiser were asked to submit names of’ the clubs where they danced to Louisiana music in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, with a brief recollection of what the club was like and who played there.”

Last I saw Paul’s Playhouse open and Chickeen there was in 2011 or 2012 when he allowed Major Handy, with whom I played harmonica during those years, to rehearse there while he served regulars at the bar. I think I was first there while playing with Li’l Bob & the Lollipops 1996-2000. If so, that was also a rehearsal.
