WHAT A GREAT TRIP IT WAS

Paul Strauch, who I had not seen in 45 years, was one of my heroes  in 1963 when I saw him on the cover of  SURFER. He is a true gentleman......

.....as opposed to these 3 guys to the left of Paul. Left to right:  Dick Metz, Some kid Dick found on the beach at the OUTRIGGER CANOE CLUB, Tom Morey and Paul.

VENICE

Pat made the board behind us.

With a 30 piece orchestra and choir behind them (Santa Monica and Malibu highschoolers),.. Stephen Bishop and Colin Hayes beside them The band VENICE ripped through a 3 hour collection of unforgettable songs. The highlights were several BEATLES  and The stones,..YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT.

IMAGINE  the fun the band was having doing deep cuts from SARGEANT  PEPPERS with a full orchestra and the intro to the  STONES with a 20 vocal choir.

POWERFUL and huge are the words to describe the sound last night at this concert in Santa Monica.
