Blind
Justice
This Houston-area guitar duo
is tonight's musical entertainment. Wally
Brannon and Joel Marlowe originally
came together in 1983 and over the past 25 years
have shared many a stage as band members or
duo partners. The name Blind Justice was taken
from the name of a song Wally wrote when he
was in prison ... well, not really, but you'll
have to come hear them to get the true story
behind the song.
