San Antonio’s music scene is mourning the loss of legendary horn player Vernon “Spot” Barnett, who died in his East Side home on earlier this month. In the ‘50s and ‘60s, the saxophonist led the 20th Century Orchestra, the house band at the East Side’s storied Ebony Lounge. He also performed with noted artists including Bobby “Blue” Bland and Ike and Tina Turner.
