I'm looking for anyone who used to go to the old Don and Herb's Lounge back in 1963 - 65. I was a student at Tri-State College and used to stop there frequently. Some of our instructors used to go there too. On Saturdays you could get some killer BBQ ribs, and the Falstaff beer was always cold! Drop me a line! Dick Conklin Florida Keys

I've heard some GREAT blues at Skips. I came from Atlanta, GA so I doubted I'd ever hear good bands up here. I was proven wrong. I went to see Duke Tumatoe play the first time I went. I thought, This dude is over-the-hill... I listened to the guy play & was blown away!! Having Jo Ann serve us was like desert for me! She's Quite the babe!

We would like to say Balance hopes to see an awesome crowd on August 1 & 2. We've been performing @ Skips since around 1997 and we love the place. The Hamiltons treat us great as well as all the staff and people. (Tom and Barb) are the best!!!!!! Thanks for putting up with us. Angola knows how to make us feel like were right at home. We look forward to seeing all of you soon. Shannon Orick, Matt Hurt, Jason Orick, David Orick - Balance

Skip sounds like our kind of joint. Love the Blues. We'll check it out when we're back there for a wedding in July. Josh (our great-Nephew) did one hell of a job on this website. I might say "Awsome Dude", but old farts like us don't talk like that.

I just have to thank Skip's for being the best place for a band to play in Indiana. I get around a LOT with my band Roger's Ritual, but it seems like the place where the people party the hardest is Skip's. Some weekends I dread going out to play; If I had HALF the fun, or saw half the TITS that I do there at any other place, I'd be drunk all the time! Thanks, Skips. Can I live there?

Hello all, Troolee here. We are looking forward to seeing what the Skips crowd looks like from the stage in Angola. We will come to you will the best we have to offer and we hope none of us fall off it before the nights end. If you think you have heard the fun and humorus side of the Blues, GET BACK! We are greatfully coming to Skips to perform for you on December 18th to perform cuts from as early as 1920 and as late and 2002 originals. Kings and Queens (female only), Princesses and Princes. Let the show begin. All is well and let the snow start to fly. See you on the 18th so, bye, bye, bye. Thomas - Troolee Dangerous Blues Revue

Hey Skips!!!!!!!!! You Northerners are in for a real treat on Dec. 18. I've followed The Troolie Dangerous Blues Revue from the Lima Blues Challenge (which by the way they won!)to the Key Palace Theatre in Redkey. These guys are a "party" and will fit in quite nicely, thank you very much, at SKIP'S PARTY PLACE. From the upbeat 'She Threw a Brick at Me' to a fantastic rendition of 'Honky Tonk Woman' you will want to keep your feet moving. Have your sweetie near when they play 'Ain't No Sunshine When Shes Gone' cause you will want to hold her close! I've not had the pleasure of partying at Skip's but these guys will get me there. See ya on the 18th. Greg (The Mayor)

Skip, Steve, Joanne, Chink, Wilbur, Josh,etc. etc. etc., Thanks a million for providing a nice place (that's only 4 blocks from my house!) where I can hear national traveling blues acts on Wednesdays and great rock 'n roll on the weekends. If you're reading this and you're from out of town, you owe it to yourself to make the trip to Angola. It's like "Cheers" with a band...everybody knows your name. Also thanks for the Thursday night open forum for local musicians to have a place to get up and shine. We appreciate that too. Keep on rockin' guys.. Ted
