Frenchy double-doors, and more

The Year was 1986. The Bago had happened. The Dong for Bales was legend. Ulf and Bill ran the Rock Chalk. Most of the group had lost their crabs. Randy Ragle had a house that he wanted to rent. Bill Buckner was working on his defense.
We got that house at 923 Tennessee. And it got us. Together, we had the best parties. We held ragers pre- noise ordinance. Once a month times nine, from July to March, the town was invited to our place to help drink kegs and enjoy bands including Rabbit Scat, Red Zone, Altered Media, Lonesome Houndogs, Corporal Clegg, Dirtweed, Homestead Grays?, (I'll look for the flyers, there was a bunch of cool bands). The first big one was our Christmas in July. We had a pretty good "Mike" party at some point. I found a flyer for the finale.
