About this audio guide
This guide to C-Boy's Heart & Soul in Austin centers on Louis Charles Parks, known to everyone as C-Boy, who ran the Rome Inn nightclub in the late nineteen seventies and cooked barbecue for the bands on its stage, including a young Fabulous Thunderbirds. You will hear how his generosity shaped a young bartender named Steve Wertheimer and rippled out to Houston blues fans and ZZ Top. Stand at the bar and listen for the debt this South Congress room was built to repay.
