PHOTO GALLERY - BANDS AND ARTISTS

GLASS ONION - Mike Lowell writes: I seem to remember catching this act once at the Mule Stall in Alamo Hgt around 69' or so. If this is the act I remember... they were a 4 piece, bass, gtr, drums and a stand up blond haired singer who wore barber shop striped pants that night. On bass was a guy named Steve Holloway who I had seen in another earlier band as lead guitarist. They did a killer version of the Beatles 'I want you'.

Gene Villareal- keyboards and touch bass. / Oscar Ortega - Guitar / David Brigham -vocals / Alan Cooper (aka Tiny. Also remembered as a member of Sweet Smoke) - Drums.

The drummer was Alan Cooper (Tiny: see Sweet Smoke), keyboard and touch bass was Gene Villareal, guitar was Oscar Ortega. Steve Holloway did follow on guitar for a short time. We had a great time playing around South Texas, appearing on the bandstand like show "Swingtime" three times and opening for "Spirit" at Municipal Auditorium ( we opened and Shivas Headband played next). I have great memories of playing at Teen Canteen, the Jam Factory and Holiday Inn at Lake McQueney."
