Early to mid 70's for me. Seems like Quihi and Westernland were Tuesdays and Randy's Rodeo was Thursdays and the weekends were Golden Stallion. Did them all on pitiful Stockyard's wages!! When is Gruene open these days?

I saw George Strait at TX Dancehall too . Waaaay back in the day.
I also saw Willie Nelson there and somehow I got backstage to meet him.

Texas Dance Hall is now a cabinet store. I saw Merle Haggard in concert there.

FYI there is now a new Bluebonnet Palace right down the road from the original. Go down Enterprise to Evans Rd. and it sits off to the left. Same owners as the original.
