    Hi Ron,
    That was quite a while ago, and the names you mentioned, I don't recall.
    Steve Paul's Scene, on the other hand, was thee place to hang. Everybody from Hendrix to
    Clapton to Pryor, and on and on, .... came through there.

    Thanks for the memories, and for sharing your journey. Sounds like you doing fine.
    Be safe and well,
    Kenny
