Stories for Shorty: A Collection of Recollections from the Jockey Club 1982-1988
Edited by Betsy Young and Chuck Byrd

Twenty years after the demolition of the legendary Jockey Club, we thought a forum was overdue for the cast of characters who made up the JC freak show. YOU answered the call and Stories for Shorty: A Collection of Recollections from the Jockey Club 1982-88 was created.

Those of us who were there helped create this book to immortalizes the legendary Jockey Club of Newport, Kentucky as we remembered it in the 1980s. Everyone from SS-20's Jughead to Joey Shithead of D.O.A. to the Human Zoo himself, Bevo, contributed in not just conveying the importance of The Jockey Club to the Cincinnati, OH music scene but just how much it really meant to us. Thanks, Shorty!
