Texas blues and wrestling fans, this weekend. . .

... there's a big benefit show going this Saturday in Dallas, Texas to help cover the final costs for the late Armand Hussein, former pro wrestler extraordinaire (and tag team champ partner of Abdullah The Butcher) and longtime stalwart of the local blues scene.

The show goes from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Mardi Gras Club in Stremmons Towers, 2720 N. Stremmons Freeway. Call 214-634-9669 . Or, you can send a cheque in the name of Rahma Funeral Home to organizer Jim Wells at VHA Texas, 7160 Dallas Parkway, Suite 600, Plano, Texas 75024. DON'T write the cheque in Jim's name or he'll have to send it back to you. If they get more money than needed, they'll void the cheque and send it back.

So why attend if you didn't know Mr. Hussein? Here's the lineup:
3:00 RL Griffin, Ernie Johnson, Big Charles Young

and possibly other friends of Armand Hussein!

3:45 Rob Donovan

4:25 Big Jim Wells and the Nightowls

5:00 Perry Jones and Friends

5:45 Hash Brown, Christian Dozzler, Anson Funderburg,

and Joe Jonas

7:00 Tutu Jones

7:45 or so: The Armand Hussein "Open Jam"!!!
