The Texas Playhouse club, owned by Mrs. T., sat at the former site of the Union Pacific Porter's Club. Working class locals gathered here to party after a long week of work. Norman Sylvester talks about what it was like playing weekend gigs here with his band Rated X, under the iron fist of Mrs T.! Marilyn Keller recounts late nights onstage and how she learned to find her own vocal style when covering top 40 hits. Norman also fondly remembers root beer floats and great burgers at Citizen's Cafe across the street.
