San Antonio garage article

[chas_kit]

Bill Baird's article has some great photos of the Centurys, the Stoics and the Chaynes and other pics from Sam Kinsey. He interviewed band members, and Kinsey, and some fans like me. Good playlist too.

Very nice! The only thing I would add -- these articles usually overemphasize clubs on the '60s garage scene, when they were only a small part of it. Most gigs were at high schools, church halls, roller rinks, i.e., places where teens congregated. There was no money to be made in non-alcoholic night clubs, so most teen clubs were not open long. Sam Kinsey's Teen Canteen was an exception.
