The Hatman, Lamar Harris
Posted: February 19, 2007 7:59 pm
Anyone ever been to the Westward Ho, in Vegas (before it was torn down, of course!
)
There was a lounge singer that played there. His name was Lamar Harris. He called himself the "Hatman" because he always wore so many different hats on stage.
My wife and I would go to the 'Ho just to see Lamar (and some strong cheap drinks). Every time we showed up, he remembered us by name - whether it was a few months, 6 months, a year, etc. He always remembered!
Then, one day, he was gone and replaced by an even cheesier act. Then the place was demolished.
Has anyone ever seen Lamar? Does anyone know where he is now? I can't even find him online. He is just a cool guy (who also claimed to have hung out with Jimmy in his earlier years).
Anyone?
