WILL BELLAMY REMEMBERS .......
Is this Animal House? ......
"Playing frat parties for UT Round-up weekend was Animal
House on steroids.
Chuck Berry was making the round of frat houses with his Gibson
ES-335
sitting in with whatever band was playing. Politely he asked
if we knew
Maybellene, we said does a duck walk? Does anybody remember Doug
Clark and the Hot Nuts? Hot nuts, hot nuts get 'em from the peanut
man, see that girl
dressed in pink....... They would come out first set in red tuxes,
second set in bermuda shorts, third set in speedos and forth
set... you don't want to know.
The money was great and after the first set nobody cared what
you did because serious brain damage was setting in. Always ones
to get the party
spirit, The Centurys forgot the three chords we knew and began
a new
rendition of 'Louie, Louie' as a Gregorian chant. One frat bro
rewarded us each with two bottles of cheap champagne which after
being imbibed, was used to decorate the front lawn. Pat and I
thought Tony was dead until we found him somehow rolled up in
a carpet. One couldn't imagine more school spirit as togas were
flying and the girls, oh my gawd, could anything be more beautiful
than a full grown Texas woman?"
