Can You Name These WineBoard Members?

Ah, remember the Vangard from even earlier days. But, the name Charlie Mingus brings back an even better memory. In the summer of 1960 attended the College International de Cannes. Three hours of school in the morning, followed by an afternoon on the beach surrounded by bikini clad lovelies from all over Europe. On the way to the beach on our Solex' we would stop by the store to pick up a $.15 Rouge de Provence, along with a hunk of cheese and a baguette that brought the tab up to $.50 or 2.5 NF. That always guaranteed company on one's blanket.

One night a group of us Solexed over to Nice for a jazz concert featuring Charlie. The French warm up combo was pretty good. Then Charlie came on and took a half hour to get his bass out of it's case. At the fifteen minute point, the audiance started whistling, and didn't stop until fifteen minutes after the concert ended. One of those nights it was not too proud to be an American. The wine was good though.
