My Stevie story

[TracysTribe3]

I remember that bar Rockers! I used to go there around 1984-1986. I had no such luck of seeing Stevie there though! I heard there was a sighting of her and Mick at the Library Cafe, if you remember that bar, I think on a New Year's Eve. Seems odd that she would go to Rockers. What did she do there - just sit or did she get up in dance? Didn't people recognize her and converge on her?

It was an odd choice of celebrity, considering Rockers was pretty much running Heavy Metal bands at that time. One thing though was Rob Halford was a regular there as well as other locals, I never saw anyone harassed much at all. I am sure it was a promo for the St Marys food bank through something else that was the tie in for Stevie. Being a Heavy Metal crowd and a local girl to boot, chances are that no one really cared. This was one of a series of shows for their benefit. I found the flyer for the show(it was on the previous page from the other one I found) It says June 23rd. Even still have my pass. That night was Kraken, Executioner, and Hot Shot on the bill. The special guest was supposed to be Poison, but after the previous night incident they didn't appear. Somewhere there is a video tape of the show. I remember someone filming me while I was running sound. I saw the tape briefly in someones living room afterwards, but no clue who has it now. One other interesting note, Stevie was a waitress for a painter I once worked for. We did some work at her place once (though I never saw her). She got him a lot of good jobs. We did McCartneys place in Tucson, The Governors house and a lot of politicians houses, restaurants and so forth. She must of been a real down to earth person, cause Gary was a no bull kind of guy and really liked her as a person. I never could imagine her working with him. He was around 6'7 with a big frame. I dont think he liked Lindsey though, I think he fired him or something, cause he was lazy. If I catch up with Gary, I will ask him.

The Library was the place by the freeway, just north of Metro center right? Had the books on the walls everywhere? I think I only was there a couple of times.

Yes, yes! We want the scoop from Gary. Especially about how she was as an employee. I think she was fired as a dentist's assistant after just three days. Was it a restaurant in California or in Arizona?

You're just full of interesting tidbits!

The bar you're talking about is the Library. It burned down. For awhile though there was a bar called the Library Cafe somewhere around 16th St & Indian School - that area of town anyway.

Sure wish I would have been at Rockers that night though.

I cant remember her name, but I think she got in trouble over something later. I keep thinking it was Cheryl something. The second time I really avoided looking at her much.

Wasn't her name Britney Marx or something like that?
