I Slipped on Slimp

And The Shoal Creek Playboys

Avery Slimp 1955

Galena's Chief of Police in 1955. I recall seeing a flyer posted on the wall of the fire hall by the wide open door on Main announcing a big Saturday night dance at a Spring River location featuring the musical strains of "Avery Slimp and the Shoal Creek Playboys." I wonder still, since I missed the dance and music, who comprised the band.
