I remember the sound of the band was huge and rocked-out this little place. Jay's was a classic honky-tonk made of wood, with chicken fighting in the back area. In 1979 I talked with C. Chenier, for a little while, several hours before the show. It was just he and I in the place and he was very friendly and took time to be nice to this 28 year-old stammering fan. I went back to Jay's three years ago and the earth had almost reclaimed it.

It's great to see some B&W photos for a change. A great sequence that very much transports you to the moment. Post more great photos if you have 'em!
