First heard Beach Music at the Old Lynrock Swimming Pool on the juke box outside. They also had dances in the summertime there.

Louis Griffin was the smooth-stepper there.

Lynrock is in Eden. Lynn Stephenson also danced there, but I did not kinow him then. He was older. Ran into him at the beach again in the mid 70's when Fat Jack's was hot.
