I was in or just finished 8th grade @ Meadow View Elementary School in H.B. & just moved down from the So. Bay area. My sister took us because a girl she went to El Segundo High School with was dating one of the band members.

I bought my first guitar in Dennos. They sold records but he had this hanging up on his wall. I still have it, a Vega. The only one I've ever seen. Vega is known for their banjos. I remember a Corvette too, parked by the stage it was a new 1963. They wore Pendletons which was their band's name before the Beach Boys. They sounded pretty good for playing in a parking lot and I remember thinking how loud it was. I had just moved to OC from the South Central area of LA.. went to Rancho.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10397898.post-11885767272592038172012-04-09T07:44:31.158-07:002012-04-09T07:44:31.158-07:00I remember the Beach Boys at Denno's in Orange...I remember the Beach Boys at Denno's in Orange County Plaza. They signed autographs on "Surfin' USA." I got my 45 autographed that day and still have it. I was a Beatles fan then and not a big Beach Boys fan, but knew it was a big deal to see them.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03630358257427483061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10397898.post-29022537605753538102012-04-01T17:09:32.081-07:002012-04-01T17:09:32.081-07:00Before it was Ole's it was Build N' Save a...Before it was Ole's it was Build N' Save as I worked at both of them.
