Do you have a story about the Black Hawk?
If you remember the Black Hawk nightclub and have a personal story you would like to share, I would love to hear from you. I am putting together a history of the club based on the personal experiences of both patrons and performers for inclusion in the Tenderloin Museum and with an eye toward eventual publication.

I saw George Shearing in Jan. or Feb. of 1954 at the Black Hawk.Cal Tjader was in his group. I brlieve Shearing had a quartet then. Can anyone tell me the other members of the group at that time. Thank you.
i saw shorty rodgers play there sometime in 62 maybe 63. i loved the place. one thing that made this club special is that it was sectioned off for a place that minors could be there. one step up on an elevated area with a fence of sorts. i went on sunday afternoons for their jam sessions. a musician could join in on invitation often building a great group as the hours went by.
Thanks for sharing your story about the Black Hawk, Darrel. I gather you were a minor when you saw Shorty Rodgers there?
