Pat O’Brien’s Piano Bar at CyFair

It’s not New Orleans, but don’t tell that to Scubie Hoyt, a piano bar maven, who led us in song and a rip-roaring good time.

"If it Ain't Got That Swing"

Hey all you hep cats and smokin' sluggers! Hope you caught our LIFE class this week giving the low-down on black baseball and music in the Jim Crow era. Dr. Larry Hogan, Senior Professor of History at Union College and Dr. Robert Cvornyek, Professor of History at Rhode Island College laid it all on us, right where it all was. Their gig was so solid, I don't really need to break it down for you, ya dig? Check out their presentation, while I take five. Keep it cool....
