There had to be more to it than this! He sure got a lot of mileage from that unimpressive looking honky-tonk.

On Saturday nights it was packed.
They also were on armed forces radio on Saturday nights during the late 80’s.
Had his own beer.
Bumper sticker thing pissed me off.
He had to make a killing off T-shirts, bumper stickers, and his private label beer.
My Uncle built and repaired sound systems and recording equipment.
He repaired the system inside Gilley’s.
During the 1980’s, Gilley’s had one of the best systems in the country.
Saw a few musicians play there like Charlie Daniels band.
It was just the ultimate baw place.
Took a nerd chick there she even had fun there.
You had to go to experience it.
This is from the internet.
With Gilley's indoor rodeo arena as an added attraction, the 48,000 square feet (4,500 m2) club hosted a packed house of thousands every night. The space fielded oversized bars and dance floors to accommodate crowds, and the club was so big that visitors could not see from one end of the building to the other.
