Chuck Berry, Johnny Cash
And other greats played near here...but "before my time". In 1959, when the big acts stopped coming, I was a mere 15 year old high screw-all Brat...
The Cottonwoods Ballroom...Now just an empty lot... Long-gone dance hall hosted Chuck Berry, Johnny Cash, more | Offbeat Oregon History "The list of acts that have performed there reads like an excerpt from some kind of multi-ethnic Who’s Who of 20th-century musicians: Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, the Nat King Cole Trio, Duke Ellington, Sons of the Pioneers, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Lefty Frizzell, Hank Snow, Tex Ritter, Fats Domino, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Johnny Cash."

And here's that last place the Beatles did a concert. Candlestick Park in SF. Lots of old venues going away.
