Description Huntington Beach nightclub, now torn down. This was shot the year before, or the summer before in 1985.

Lots of famous people played there and now it's gone. I found these old negs and just scanned them.

They may go to scraps later because they are really just documents.

Oh yes! But it's so annoying that it's not there any more.

I wish those walls were still there! Here in the USA, we tend to tear down our history.

i really love these two, seriously, i've been meaning to favorite them for ages now from my list. i think what caught me about them is your everlasting passion (if i can call it that?) towards music, especially jazz/blues etc.. your photographs of musicians and music or any representation towards music has such sophistication and free expression to it. i love it all so much!

You bowled my over! Thanks so much. I feel that music and musicians are mostly underpaid, under-appreciated (unless they are in that rare air of the top tiny 100th of a percent). It takes so much dedication, skill, practice, training, endurance, etc to do good music. It's crazy the way we treat our musicians ... really it is.
