<p><strong>SEASON 2 EPISODE 1 - THE DAN &amp; DAVE COUNTRY DUO GROUP FROM AUSTIN TEXAS IN THE 1970S AND 1980s</strong></p> <p>An entertaining evening with Dave Henry on the Sidney St. James Show!</p> <p>First, let me tell all the folks out there that it appears almost impossible to talk with people who have ever heard of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_uDMD7SHAk"><strong>Dan &amp; Dave (Part I)</strong></a>, although they played in front of thousands of people at the <a href="https://www.zrock.com/an-austin-legend-the-back-room-turns-30/"><strong>Backroom in Austin, Texas</strong></a>, during the late 70s and early 80s.</p> <p>For many years, his partner in crime was no other than<strong> Dan Burke</strong>, who left us last April 2021.
