Henry,
All the photos of the hall from that period clearly show a sign that
reads,"TRADITONAL Request, $1.00, OTHERS $2.00, The SAINTS $5.00".
That's when the fee at the door was only $1.00.
I remember it well as '69 was the year of my first, (of many) visits to
New Orleans and Preservation Hall.
Best,
Ron
