Yes it is !!!!

Charlie & the Jives were the priemer dance band at the Eastwood Country Club In San Antonio around 1960 to 1962 and some of the artist that played for Charlie were some of the best around. Eastwood Country Club In San Antonio had some of the best blues artist. A famous blues club of the 50's and 60's.One thing that distinguished San Antonio from other clubs in the south and maybe in the country in the 50's, is that in a time when everything was racially segregated, the club and musical groups and bands were not,they were integrated. Charlies band were always filled with some of the best blues players,usually backing a solid R&B vocalist like Louis Madison (Original Famous Flames), Bobby Taylor (Bobby Taylor and the VanCouvers-Cheech and Chong films), Benny Easley a guy who was stranded in San Antonio when his "Ink Spots" gig folded. Spot Barnett piano player(Dottie (wizzer) White, the Royal Jesters and Doug Sahms bands in one form or another. But only Charlie & the Jives had Jitterbug Webb.One of the best Blues guitar players around. Playing with The Group is: Jitterbug Webb, Charlie Alvarado, Louis Madison, Bobby Taylor, Benny Easley, Dottie White, Spot Barnett, Randy Garibay, Ernie Durawa-Drums.
