I just heard that Steve Cassidy who was with the 60's local band, The Continentals, passed away today. Some of you have mentioned him on this thread.

Thanks Southside Girl, I only heard about this today through BowTieGuy. So sad.

Sorry to hear about PapaOU. He shared a lot of his southside memories with many of us at the Coit's meetings. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and his CHHS alumni friends. RIP John.

Yep, I got a message from his cousin the day he died. His sister was in my class and she died just a few years after we graduated with a brain tumor. Jerry's 93-year old mother is still alive.......

Austin, TX - 6th Street
Washington DC - Pennsylvania Avenue
Los Angeles - Rodeo Drive
Las Vegas - Freemont Street
No, Jerry didn't own the original Hollie's downtown (he graduated from Grant in 1965).... he owned the Hollie's 50's 60's club which opened in 1985. Marilyn was his manager the whole time it existed...
Thanks papa..... I hadn't read the paper yet today, so I probably would have missed the article. So good to hear Jerry and Marilyn reminisce about the old Hollie's days. Every time I see Jerry, he...
