Mean Gene Kelton & The Die Hards Performing "Cruisin' Texas Ave."

[ColibriMONOPOL]

I first found Mean Gene Kelton & The Die Hards about 12 years ago, when I downloaded this song by mistake. I was hooked from the very first line.

I ordered the album from the web site, which was sent to me in the UK. The customs declaration was signed by the man him self.

R.I.P. Your gift of music to this world will live on forever more.

Rest In Peace Mean Gene! Your music will live on, as will all the memories of you playing at city lites when my mom was working many years ago, and most recently when you sang happy birthday to me at roosters in July... <3

R.I.P. Mean Gene. I remember early 80's going into the City Club and listening to Gene. You will be missed. You are a big part of my growing up memories

"If you believe in forever

Then life is just a one-night stand

If there's a rock and roll heaven

Well you know they've got a hell of a band"

R.I.P. Mean Gene.......

I definitely did not get to see Texas Avenue like he did, but I have always wondered about it since I was young. My family had a furniture on Texas Avenue and I was over there a lot and heard stories of what it used to be like and always wished I could of have seen it in its hay day.

@ceaton84 I saw it in the last of it's hey day. Around 1980. I was only about 12 at the time. Sad to see the winding stripes gone.
