Texas Blues, Part 2: Dallas’ Palace of the Blues
Dallas Art and Seek by Jerome Weeks
R.L. Griffin promotes other artists on his radio show and at his club. Visiting musicians, white or black, climb onstage to sit in and play. As a result, the club owner and his Blues Palace inspire deep loyalty. Members of Griffin’s house band have been with him for 20 years. Texas blues singer-musician Edwin Holt even wrote a song about the man who’s known as “The Right Reverend of the Blues.”
