From The Beaver Pond To Cowboys To The Roxy
from MBJ Enterprises LLC · host Max Baker Jr.
June 12th marked our first and possibly only show at Cowboys before it transformed into The Roxy. The lineup featured Forte and Pitch Black, and it turned into a turning point for that building.Long before it was Cowboys, the place was called The Beaver Pond. In the 70s, it was a strip club where dancers floated on lily pads in a real swimming pool.That pool never left.The stage at Cowboys was built directly over it. Dead center stood a pole that bands constantly crashed into. When asked why it stayed, the answer was simple. Structural support. Stomp on that stage and you could hear the hollow echo underneath.George Cunningham, who owned Fritzy’s, saw what was possible. Once he realized heavier shows could work there, the focus shifted. Cowboys faded. The Roxy took over. Rock and metal found a new home.One address. Three identities. Strip club. Country bar. Rock venue.Like, share, and follow so these stories keep getting told.Follow & Connect: Max Baker Jr. Instagram @bmaddmaxx | Facebook @bmaddmaxx Jeff Brownen Facebook @jeff.brownenHere’s The Deal YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@heresthedealokHere’s The Deal Podcast Website https://heresthedealok.comBuy Here’s The Deal Vintage & Collectables https://heresthedealvintagecollectables.comGet an Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Card https://medcardsmadeeasy.netConcert & Event Production Services https://bakerboyspro.comBuy Roadie CBD Balm & Oil https://bakersremedycbd.com
