I love John Neal Phillips's work on Bonnie and Clyde. Anytime I see a new book or a lecture, I go right for it! He's an amazing writer and a great historian!
Thanks for supporting this authors work DHS, I enjoyed this presentation immensely. As a lifelong Dallas resident, I've heard of Bonnie & Clyde's connection(s) to Dallas for years through old newspapers but never saw the pathways, roads, and connections to the areas (Lancaster, Irving, West Dallas, etc.) as they are today. Very informative and interesting.
Clyde played any instrument he could get his hands on. He really loved the sax though, so that's why he was a known sax player. He played guitar, ukulele, flute, piano. Bonnie also played piano and sang.
Interesting historical note: Not sure if still occurring today, but for at least 6 decades following the 1934 demise of B&C, many a Texas Lawman have made an after dark stop by the Western Heights Cemetery on Ft Worth Ave @ Navarro St in West Dallas to p!$$ on Clyde Barrow’s grave. Allegedly one such stop occurred in 1992 following a few Shiner Boch drafts at the old DPA club in downtown Dallas.
When is the next B & C presentation by Mr. Phillips at the Dallas Historical Society? Will Mr. Phillips ever offer the B & C bus tours again?
