Summary

Documentaries of over one hundred vintage dance halls and their communities are explored in Dance Halls and Last Calls. Many entertainers, booking agents, club owners, and country music fans were interviewed for this book. In a day when there was no competition from television or video players, these shrines gleamed proudly each weekend. Today a new generation of Texas music lovers has helped these halls enjoy a resurgence in popularity.

Author Biography

Geronimo Trevino III has played Texas dance halls since 1989 and has opened shows for several of the country legends he writes about. He lives in San Antonio and sells Swedish chocolate when he's not performing with his band
