You guys were so lucky to grow live and grow up in Hawthorne in those days. I moved to the South Bay from New Orleans maybe around ‘68 and missed so much of the beach city living.
Went to Jr. High with younger brother of Mike Love ( Beach Boys). Knew owner of PIZZA Show Restairant in Hawthorne. Saw Chris Montez ( Let's Dance) on campus at Jr. college in Torrance, etc..
MrHawthorne, I can't thank you enough for this absolutely valuable history lesson and backstory that definitely needed to be told. I lived in San Diego awhile and miss the old days, even the many visits to TJ. Still have family in Riverside county. Wildomar and Lakeland Village. Can't wait to see them again. Will definitely take the tour of Hawthorne. Maybe get some pizza and some ice cream at another Fosters. Thank you so very much. All the best and may God bless. Also, Thank you David Marks for all that you do. May God bless.
David not only knows his stuff when it comes to guitar playing but he also seems likable as a person, too. You can't say that about a lot of other musicians. The seem highly conceited, but not David Mark's. He seems to have more empathy and compassion! ❤😂
