Not trying to hijack the thread, but:
this brings back a lot of memories. Danced at the Plantation Club many times, also Misty Waters and Fun
Town. Went to Earl's Place a few times. Shot pool at Big Town pool hall at five points and another place I can't remember. Anyone remeber the line dance they did at the Plantation Club at 11 every Sat. Night?

I remember that very well, I worked bar at Earls for a while in the good old days, those were some good people. A couple of trips to fun town was enough for me, even the girls wore rumble rings!

LOL, not really Ron, just made up for some lost time in a hurry, that's all, and I was making a good living on the other side of the bar, I figured if I was gonna gonna be there anyway, why not get paid for it instead of paying. LOL, all thats been 2-3 lifetimes ago tho

No doubt about that...if you have the skills and are good with people, there's some good jack to be made from that side of the bar. Unfortunately, back in my college days, I'd make it...then jump to the other side and throw it all away on Crown and wild women. Oh, but I'm much older, wiser and refined now...not to mentioned married with two teenage kids!

This place was away from downtown on Chesirebridge Rd. but, How about the Brave-Falcon. Remember it ? I used to hang around there in the early 70's.

Yep
The Brave-Falcon was a hot place then. I think the band that played there a lot was from Myrtle Beach and got famous later. We need to start another thread so all us old Atlanta natives can talk about the good old days. Anyone ever go to Alex Coolie's ball room?

Whitley played at the Bistro a lot.
there are still some pretty good rock clubs in Atlanta, but hip hop has all but taken over.

Another place was Jerry Ford's on Peachtree. Wonder what ever happened to him? Guy was a great piano player. Man I get a headache just talking about those days.
