It was a very large high ceiling room with a large open stage. It was often packed and a great venue to play. We had played the Studio Club often and our agents probably knew Larry Lavine. Later I played with the bass player that had been with the Styx when Lou Ann’s burned down. Larry Tagg, who is in the picture you posted of the Styx, later played with Tod Rundgren.

What a cool memory! Strange the things that seemed so bad in the moment are cherished today. Thanks for that Jay.
Be sure to check out Parts 1, 2 and 3. Kirby St. Romain, Jack Mitchell (Styx) and several others all contributed

I like so many other young Dallas teens in a band played at Lou Ann’s. It was the coming up place for local bands. One evening my small highschool band, “The Minutemen” from Carrollton / Farmers Branch played with Mouse and the Traps. We were thrilled.

At the end of the evening, at load out, myself and Bugs Henderson put a Dual Showman speaker cabinet through the front plate glass window by accident. Mrs. Bovis was not pleased. It was late, 2:30ish or so and she would let no one leave until the emergency glass man came and reinstalled the glass. Mouse and the Traps were docked half their evening earnings, and my band docked the entire evening. Both of us must have been Pariahs to the other band members for about a week. It was one of those places that if you played it, you had arrived.
