Great post! Excellent work! Hope that some others who were there in the early 60s will help to recall thoughts about Tiger, Tootie, and Billy Tom for inclusion. The three main guys we lived to see play Jazz at the Cellar from 1960 on. Nobody could cut any one of those guys back then - just ask Tommy Nash or Tom Griffin about Tiger. Tootie was THE Ft. Worth bass legend and Billy Tom played like Trane. Adrian or Bob Mott on drums. Lot of happy memories....

I remember singing Proud Mary with ZZ TOP. early Cellar after hrs long long time ago. Before they signed. So cool. Good times. Thanks for the memories. Also Sevy taught me my first song on guitar House of the Rising Son chords. I had naturally long finger nails. He said if I cut them he’d show me the chords after a few minutes I decided yepp music is more important than glam nails. Been playing guitar ever since thank you Paul. Treasured memories. God bless you all.ft worth.

I was playing bass with Mike Ames in 1968 when I was 16 and he came to my house and told my parents we were going to rehearsal. Instead, he snuck me into the Cellar Club in Dallas to listen to some musician friends that were playing there. Everything the people said about the Cellar in the interview are 100% correct. I remember Mike getting me past the doorman, telling him that we were going to play and I didn't need to be 18.
It was very intimidating but exciting to be there. It had a reputation of being rowdy and full of bikers, riff-raff, and hippies. LOL

What a wonderful, mysterious,exciting, scary, and totally endearing place to go and just listen to the live music, every night. Hello Linda Waring, you influenced me in my drum playing. Love You!

Edit: JFK's Secret Service visited a nightclub called 'The Cellar Coffee' Bar (which claimed to be a "dry" location though may have served alcohol "under the counter" as it had a reputation in the community to be dissident) at 1 am on the day JFK died, and I'm updating what I wrote as apparently this bar shown in the video was located on 2916 W Berry St, Fort Worth, TX 76109 which has since been demolished (if you look at Google maps it shows a new concrete pavement added onto the old darker parking lot.) The JFK coffee bar was a beatnik coffee shop established around 1959 and was located on 10th and Main street in downtown Fort Worth (north of this bar's location,) and would be exactly at the center of the more recently built Convention Center (located in "Cow Town" not far from the Stock Yards and Stock Show) . . . Both 'The Cellar Coffee/Bar' were icons of Forth Worth history, and it's a shame neither of them is now visible to see.

OK, so I gotta mention this. I was about 19, long hair, trying to score some POT. The guy that I was buying it from told me to wait with this gal, "Kitty" while he went and got it, A coup[e of bikers drove up and parked, and one of them walked over to us and said "Hey Kitty, gettin em before they grow teeth?" LO friggin L!
