And the night shall be filled with music, And the cares that infest the day,
Shall fold their tents Like the Arabs, And as silently steal away
- Longfellow
P. J. Belly In Loving Memory April 16 1949 - October 1 1999
P. J. Belly was one of the most talented and remarkable entertainers to come from West Texas. His
music made you feel good, and his friends and fans came from across
the United States, Europe, Canada, and Australia to hear him play. The
legendary blues club Belly's in Lubbock, Texas, was home to P. J. Belly
for many years, where he shared the stage with scores of the most talented
musicians in Texas. Later, P. J. Belly moved to Las Vegas, where Arizona
Charlie's became his second home. Once again he attracted an abundance of musicians to perpetuate the music.
He shared his love of life and music with everyone he met, and knowing him made our lives better.
