Mr. Aycox. I know him.
Mr. Griffin. How did you first happen to meet Jack Ruby?
Mr. Aycox. Well, I went out to his club and played. The first night we went out there to play, his sister was running the place.
Mr. Griffin. Is that the Vegas Club?
Mr. Aycox. Vegas Club, and she had to have an operation the first night I played with another band. We just played one night.
The next night, about a week later, we got a steady job there, and she had to have an operation, and she told us he would be taking over and handling both clubs until she got out of the hospital, and for us to follow his orders, and that is how I met him.
One night he came out before she went to the hospital, and she introduced me to him, and then he came out and emceed the show.
We had a show on Friday and Saturday nights at the Vegas Club and he come out and emceed the show.
Mr. Griffin. What kind of shows did he have at the Vegas Club on Friday and Saturdays?
Mr. Aycox. Just a rock-and-roll. Different artists come from other clubs, recording artists around town come out and did three or four numbers, tap dance and sing.
