Sue Ann Banks
Back around 1966-1968, Sue Ann Banks was a frequent patron of both Vaqn's Ballroom and The Dome Shadows. She has been nice enough to provide photos of her experiences.
Gary:
I have some photos from inside both Van's and The Dome Shadows.
My friends and I frequented both venues a lot! I loved to whip!
Phil Mathis, the drummer for The Jokers, and I dated for quite awhile back in the day. I went to Bobby Bradshaw's funeral in Burnet and took my photo albums with me. Roy Head was there and he got a kick out of them.
Let me know if you want me to scan the old photos and email them to you.
This is a great site. I can't believe it took me this long to look it over.
Many thanks
(Sue Ann) Jacquie Banks
