This week, we're featuring a flashback of a flashback in which Robert Wilonsky gets to wax poetic about one of his favorite Texas acts: The Judy's.

And speaking of Chris Frantz ...Happy Almost Anniversary! And where were you on December 11, 1978? The Palladium, perhaps? (The original, that is to say -- near Abrams and Northwest Highway.
