a story involving saxophonist Evelyn Young. The band would often
cross into Mexico to visit a favoured bordello when they had some time off in Houston,
and on one occasion Evelyn, who liked to dress in men's clothing, insisted on joining
the pilgrimage. The bordello was a rather informal affair: lacking actual rooms
it had curtained-off areas each equipped with a bed for the patron. Evelyn.
undetected as a woman by the girls, had made her selection along with the
others and things were proceeding swimmingly for everyone until a scream and a
lot of Spanish expletives came from Evelyn's 'room’ and her girl went tearing
through the cubicles, breaking down the ropes and curtains and jumping over
beds and bodies.

WOW, Johnny! I've been finding it hard to tear myself away from my computer (but I'm having a fabulous time reading these magazines!) Thanks again for sharing them.
