sak Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I was there once, if I am thinking of the right place, but I can not say where it was. I went with 2 friends on a summer night in 1964 or 65. I have a better memory of going to La Maison when it was in a former grocery store, in 1965. I think these places were popular with kids from all over Houston. My cousin from the East End spent a lot time at both places as well as friends from SW Houston. There was a small, very short lived, 'teen club' on Bissonett in Bellaire near the Bellaire bowling alley. It was called Mad Daddy's Inferno. That name jumping out of my memory is too bizarre, a true flash from the past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew the owner's son and I think his name was Porvechio..plus, my band played there one night. Seems I remember we set up in an elevated loft area near the back...we did 'You Really Got Me' et al.
