THE HAPPIEST BAR ON THE PROMENADE IN THE 60S

IT WAS THE HAPPIEST BAR ON THE STRAND OR THE PROMENADE, whatever you chose or choose to call the ribbon of concrete that runs along the beachfront in Santa Monica all the way to wherever it ends now. It once went all the way to Manhattan Beach, if I recall. It was called The Carousel Bar. And things were really happening. It was quite an experience. I was young and had a lot to learn.
