Loved that, super cool
This is some light Lido-deck kind of fare but hell a few tiki drinks are just around the bend.

There was a great interview of Carol Kaye on the BBC radio program The Documentary aired June 25 of this year. It is called Carol Kaye: Queen of the bass and if I could, I’d link it here, but I lack the skill. I hope you can find it.
Yep. Real people.
Yep, that’s it.
