I was around 7 or 8 at the time but I remember it being called something like (spelling will be crazy but sounds like...) sibtanteen canteen? There were several black acts performing. The group that sang "Charlie Brown", and another group with a female lead singer along with many others. I am trying to put this memory together. A night to remember for me. Big event at the time.El Sugarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13482601218922995156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766534511299368622.post-30929008733949193922015-06-26T12:09:20.828-05:002015-06-26T12:09:20.828-05:00Thanks Sarah,

We moved to 500 Lovett Blvd the following spring. Somewhere (!) I have an invitation to the grand opening which has Beverly Bales Weaver and me, in Kilts, out by the fish pond. Actually she was just Beverly Bales then but when I returned to Houston after being a Navy wife and went back to work, then she was Beverly Weaver, married to Bill, the first General Manager for KILT. It was he who worked the deal to bring the Beatles to the Coliseum.<br />greatsally06https://www.blogger.com/profile/06032777229356178452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766534511299368622.post-6678881992365176302008-12-03T12:45:00.000-06:002008-12-03T12:45:00.000-06:00That’s Joske’s Department store in the background....That’s Joske’s Department store in the background. My sister and I used to fight over the radio when we were young. She would put on KNUZ and I would come by when she wasn’t around and put on KILT. Of course, my Mother took control and listened to Beautiful KXYZ 1320. She put the competition to an end. Ironically, years later I would find myself on the air 1st on KNUZ in 1975 and in November 1984 at KILT. By the time I got to both stations they had become country stations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
