Chas, I "time code" everything by tying an event or place with the kind of car I was driving or a tune that was popular.
For instance, when I was at the Midland, "Wham" an instrumental by a guy named Lonnie Mack was on the charts.

I was still driving my 1965 Karman Ghia, which I had just restored.

The wall graphic in the photo was a painting on the lounge wall at the Holiday Inn.

I was playing a pale green Gretsch single pick-up jazz guitar. While there, I bought an Ampeg Upright. That's the only house job I used it on. Still have it.

Can't get by on my looks...gotta rely on my memory.


Be well, friend,


Russ
