I remember the following 80's DJ Niteclubs. They all great music. Oasis-Tulare & First; Chacitos- Chance Ave; Club Paradise- Kings Canyon Ave; First Ave- First St;.Boogies - Downtown; Casino Nite Club- Blackstone. Lucys- McKinley Ave.
I remember around 76' the old BofA Bldg on N. Blackstone caddy corner from the Express Club, was maybe one of the first DJ Club. It's a Uhaul Store now.

Trying to find out what happened to the great guitar player from the band Tasty?! Can’t find him anywhere and he was a huge influence on my playing! Joey Bibb was his name, I think.
Also what ever happened to the great B3 player Joe LoFreso with the Bob Rains Band? Another huge influence.

Actually it was the Scoreboard then it became Tequila Peets in 86 or 87. The Scoreboard opened in fall of 1983.

It was Scoreboard first, then Tequila Pete’s. I was the head DJ at Pete’s that opened it. Bob Barr was the owner.
