The Whisky was a club
where groups came to see
other groups play. That was a change in time, and if you give credit
to an individual,
it'd be my Dad. He literally came out
and stood at the front door
of The Rainbow, so the groups started
coming in here to hang out. The Rainbow was
originally the Villa Nova, which was
a famous restaurant in itself. I was here
with my parents when it
was Villa Nova in the 50's. It was loaded with movie stars. Marilyn Monroe dated
Joe Dimaggio in that booth
right behind us
