Well, I was still cruising during the 70's.......but the heyday of true cruising was the late 60's......I remember car hops just like in AG....and that was also the time when we had 3,4 live bands playing around the area ,,none of this record spinning by dj's........I grew up in the best area for that.the birthplace of the "garage" bands.........like the Wailers, Sonics, Merrilee Rush, the Fleetwoods, Paul Revere and the Raiders..and many others including the Ventures........the guys from WA and OR will know what I'm talking about.
