Wes Serdahi sent this to me via email. This poster brought back old memories from when we were on the show, in the mad 1960’s. Great comments by Casey. A must read.

Ivan and Bongo Baby

The Bongo drums were bigger than the chimp but Toby did his best to be heard. We were on the Hubert Castle show when this photo was taken and was at the Winterland Arena on Sutter St and Polk,  San Fransisco  1966. I understand that the arena is no longer there.

I guess this photo to be from the 1940’s, an indoor show, might be a Shrine date. There names are unknown to me.
