Saw Ray Charles at the Ventura theater... and many others but my memories from those years is a little foggy. We would stay at the County Inn right off the freeway a couple of blocks from the theater... they had complementary beer and wine tasting in the evenings so we would get tanked up and stumble down to the show.
One time we went to see a hair band from the 70's and they were staying at the same hotel... cute little groupies running up and down that hallway.
Good times... good times...
