Jim Ohlschmidt Liner Notes The Genius of Joe Pass*, Vestapol 13073 Video, 2001, 1962
"That album and the footage that begins this video confirm that Pass' stay at Synanon quickly and irrevocably turned his life around. Taken from a 1962 appearance ona Los Angeles television broadcast called "Frankly Jazz," Pass (presumably accompanied by players featured on the Synanon album) states the melody of "The Song is You" and then launches into an extended flight of swift, melodic improvisations played with alert, coherent authority. "Sonnymoon for Two" finds Joe stretching out in a more relaxed, bluesy vein . . .
"A lot of kids think that in order to be a guitarist they've gotta go out and be a junkie for ten years, and that's just not true," Pass told Underwood. "I can't credit any of that time saying that was when I really learned. I spent most of those years just being a bum, doing nothing. It was a great waste of time. I could have been doing then a lot of things I'm doing now. Only I had failed to grow up." "1962 was a banner year for Pass. According to Oishi's discography, he appeared on no less than seven albums, working at Pacific Jazz Studios with artists such as Les McCann, Richard "Groove" Holmes, Leroy Vinegar, Johnny Griffin, Bud Shank, and others. By year's end he was one of the busiest guitarists in Los Angeles." (Back to Sources) Youtube: Palisades Park (Looking like POP) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYDSFKLu-TA (Back to Sources)

They were expecting two million visitors. the pier's attractions included twelve restaurants and snack bars, merry-go-round, shootiing gallery, two arcades, a roller rink, two fish markets, novelty store, two bait and tackle shops and room for one thousand fishermen.

"The Chamber of Commerce revived Santa Monica's traditional summer sport's festival on the pier, . . . including a Malibu to Santa Monica outrigger canoe race, the National Lifeguard Championships, a Junior Fishing Derby, a surfboard ballet, and an aquacade at Santa Monica College. The festivals would continue until the early 1970s."
