On Memorial Day of 2003, Pete Mayes and the Texas Houserockers reunited for another holiday gig at the old dance hall. Anchored by founding members Bert Lewis (Pete's cousin) on piano and Shedrick Cormier on saxophone, Pete and the band delivered a set of favorite numbers, songs as familiar to the regular patrons as the worn wood floors and low ceiling. With his pal John Broussard taking over on guitar, and Johnny Prejean and Charles McCall comprising the rhythm section, Pete devoted himself solely to singing and though his voice,like Double Banou Dance Hall, may have aged, it still conveys the sould of a man - blues veteran back in the place where, for him, it all began. Mayes played guitar with greats like Junior Parker and Bill Doggett. He has fronted his own band, the Houserockers, for 40 years. Mayes still owns and maintains the historic Double Bayou Dancehall, which once served as a regular venue for Amos Milburn, Lightnin' Hopkins, Big Joe Turner, Clarence 'Gatemouth' Brown and scores of others. It was there that Mayes, then just 16 years old, first heard T-Bone Walker and was put on the path his life ws to take and it is there that he recorded LIVE! At the Double Bayou Dancehall.
