Hi June!
I work with Neil Young and we are currently working on the Neil Young Archive Volume 2 Box Set. It goes from roughly late 1972 through 1982. In December of 1975 and January 1976 Neil did a bar tour in Northern California unannounced with Crazy Horse and he played at the Frank Torres Beach Hotel but we don’t have the exact date nor can I find any reviews or references to it anywhere. In all of your research, have you ever come across anyone ever mentioning this? In reading through your site, there was a gentleman, Bruce Pine and he seemed to be around about that time. Would he possibly remember anything or would you have contact info on that.
Also I was wondering if you know of anyone who would have photos from the 70’s of the hotel. I do have photos from much earlier time periods, but it would be nice to see it in the 70’s athough maybe it hasn’t changed that much.
Fun site to read through. Any suggestions or help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
All My Best!

Hi June,
I found this directory on Archive.org. It has more then a thousand people from San Mateo, with their occupation and residence. It has all the post offices of the mentioned counties (Pescadero is still listed in Santa Cruz County) But, best of all check some of these ads. I’ll send more soon. Enjoy.John

World famous magician Channing Pollock is referenced (with photos) in this new big, expensive book, Magic: 1400s – 1950s, published by Taschen. For many years Channing and wife, Corri, lived in Moss Beach in a magical home overlooking the north end of the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve. Up and coming and established magicians came from all over to seek advice from the master who had enthralled audiences with his sophisticated act. He raised magic to a new level by ignoring the basic elements of vaudeville: the joking around aspect. Channing’s silence during his seven-minute act– he made doves vanish– matched the perfection of the formal attire he chose to wear. He was tall and extremely handsome all of his life and had cultivated a carefully thought out stage presence.
