A couple years both sides of 1980 captures the period when I was likely to be there. It’s a four hour drive from here but was worth it back then. Kimbo was a hell of a young musician that excelled on anything with strings. He occasionally got session work in Austin but was not dependable enough to hold down a job in a band. I expect the dope got him just as it did so many of that crowd.
A pretty good picker that I knew better than I knew the others was named David...? He hung homself in the Kerrville Jail the night before he was supposed to testify against some of the others in the crowd for dope dealing.
The Dance Hall was only opened on special occasions back then. No electrified,amplified instruments allowed.....only acoustic and only out under the trees. One really long jam session.
