The first and only box office concerts, at the Inwood Theater , after
17 years, have been suspended, and most likely cancelled by
management.

For a decade and a half, Tom Hendricks, as "Hunkasaurus and His Pet
Dog Guitar", played two shows every Tuesday and two on Wednesday, in
the box office ticket booth, behind the glass.

In between shows Hendricks would sell tickets. Performances happened
through both cold winter days and hot summer nights.

Hendricks and his '64 Silvertone Guitar would play a mix of originals,
and classics - vocal and guitar accompaniment, or instrumentals. The
6 CD "Outside The Box Set", from Musea Records, reflects many of
those songs.

That may now be Dallas Music History.

The most common comment he would get when playing, was reported as, "I
thought you were a Radio!"

Thanks Steve, right now I'm playing once a month at the Inwood Lounge,
next door.

I hope it works out for you. I think you have a lot going for you as a
performer, voice, skill, repertoire, but attitude may be a limit your
audience to maybe a small band of like-minded disciples. Also I think
you might want to think about a better guitar and maybe an amp. - Less
high street busker just looking for beer money and more pro performer.

Thanks Tony. Strange but Pet Dog Guitar heard the same about me!

<g> There's nothing intrinsically wrong with playing horrible junky
guitars (a lot of the great prewar blues players did), but IMO you gotta
learn how to get the best out of them. Have a listen to Seasick Steve as
a modern example.
