Saturday Night: Roky Erickson at the Continental Club

Page 3 of 3

Personal Bias: I wasn't about to pass up the opportunity to see Roky for the first time.

The Crowd: A bouncing mixture consisting of regulars of the 3700 block of Main Street and some genuinely curious kids.

Overheard In the Crowd: Whoops, hollers, and some shouts for several songs from Roky's catalog.

Random Notebook Dump: I can tell people for the rest of my life that I once sang "Happy Birthday" to Roky Erickson. How cool is that?
