What was Everett and Jones Barbeque like in the 70's? If you hear any noise, it ain’t the boys getting down; it’s the sisters running thangs! These nine beautiful, classy, sassy, sexy, big-legged (they got it from their mama) queens made history and have come to take their rightful place on the throne. www.everettandjones.com/saucy-sisters-blog/if-you-hear-any-noise-it-aint-the-boys  Fair Deal Meat Market was the barber shop for BBQ joints with its old time charm and friendly faces. There was a place in Oakland at 3605 Market Street where Flint’s, Everett and Jones, Carmen’s and other BBQ business owners gathered to socialize; usually in the morning, way before the sun could melt the dew off the meat trucks. www.everettandjones.com/saucy-sisters-blog/farewell-fair-deal  The Barbeque Legacy of West Oakland's Historic 7th Street Blues was the music they played on 7th Street and barbeque was the food they ate. Oakland-style barbeque is the Blues. Just like the Blues, American barbeque was birthed out of hard times on slave plantations, and is the pride and grit of the Black Power in the late 1960's. 7th Street to Oakland was what Beal Street is to Memphis. People went there to eat and be entertained. The Barbeque Legacy of West Oakland's Historic 7th Street
