We must know each other, GB Girl.......We loved Beggars banquet, and Paul is a good friend of mine...he's still doing music, by the way.....think it's called "Not so costly productions" or something like that.....and, yup, I did own the "Hat" for 7 years.....that was some serious fun....all the local bands we mentioned plus some bigger rock and blues bands. Remember JB Hutto and the New Hawks? Crossfire? The Boston Brats, Rosie?......I love that biz but Sammie would kill me as I slept if I even THOUGHT of opening a club.
The reason there are so few clubs with entertainment, now, is mostly the cost. Insurance for a club with full liquor license, live entertainment and dancing is in the $30,000 range as I understand.....too bad, there used to lots of good places to go dancing.
