In Oklahoma they were always called "beer joints" because liquor was prohibited by state law until relatively recent times! The juke-box (3 songs for a quarter)was KING in those days! Tommy Duncan singing "Under a Neon Moon in a Honky-Tonk", Hank Thompson's "Green Light & Whoa Sailor" etc!

However, in those days the customer got free DELIVERY of "illegal" liquor 24 hours a day! Image www.genejones.com <FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Gene Jones on 21 March 2003 at 04:55 AM.]</p></FONT>
