Johnny Reno (center) end the Sax Maniacs at the Zoo Bar.
Johnny ELeno ranto to he a famous can maniac
By Christopher Barbach end Llihe Frost
Johnny Reno is the Sax Maniac literally. Reno,
who with his combo played Lincoln's Zoo Bar last
weekend, has an unflagging loyalty to the instru
ment he says invented rock 'n' roll.
"I feel like the saxophone was the founding
instrument of rock 'n' roll slightly before the gui
tar. The way I figure it, rock 'n' roll was invented in
1949. That pre-dates Elvis a little bit but I think a lot
of people that listen to a lot of rhythm and blues
music would agree with that"
The saxophone brought the audiences to life.
"Before that crowds just sat around and enjoyed
music and listen to stuft These guys would start
going wild on solos and people would start jumping
1
up and down in the aisles and doing back-flips on
the stage and stuff like that. That's rock 'n' roll right
there."
Reno's love affair with the sax began when he
started playing the instrument at age 25. Reno's
interest was sparked by the rhythm and blues
sounds he heard at the Bluebird Nightclub in Ft.
Worth, Texas.
"There were a lot of guitar players, needless to say,
and I'd played a little bit of guitar, but there was
never any room...I needed to play a different instru
ment. One of the guys in the band...played me a
couple of records and said There's no one playing
saxophone like this right now. If you could do this,
there'd be a lot of room for you around here.' "

Kirschenman said the
inspiration for Ted and
Waliy's came from his
brother in Boston, who
had described stores sim
ilar to Ted and Waliy's.
Kirschenman, who said he
had been looking for some
thing to do, went to Bos- -ton
to research the idea.
He came back, joined with
his partner, collected cap
ital, worked on a small
business loan and then
went on vacation. Some
of the ideas for recipes
and the freezers came from
Boston.
The store has an inter
esting mix of decorations.
About 40 lamps hang from
chains at various heights
throughout the store. The
counter gives Ted and Wal
iy's a sort of drugstore
atmosphere. The antique
wood and glass refrigera
tors and the large mirror
also add to that effect.
Some neon signs, plants
and a wall of modern
freezers add an incon
grous modernity, but the
overall effect, gives you
many things to look at
while you're eating.
