Just for fun?

Post by Bill Bailey »

I just found out tonight that Sharkeys Nugget Casino in Gardnerville Nevada was sold and they are auctioning off some of the memorabilia in Reno. My question just for fun is, How many of you players out there in forum land have ever played this Casino and what kind of memories do you have if any? I Played there several times with Rose Maddox and one nite Casey Tibbs ate a beer glass right on stage.I always loved that gig.

I played there in the mid 70's with the
"Collins Kids". Quite an interesting gig.
Sharky's son "Butch" use to toss a drunk right through the front window onto the sidewalk at least once a week!
