I obtained these from the estate of poster Artist Donald Kay. Kay produced posters and handbills promoting show for The Palace and KPRI Radio, as well as James C Pagni Production shows at the Community Concourse in SD. Pagni produced the series of "Happenings" concerts in San Diego in 1967-1969, as well as shows elsewhere at universities in California and Arizona. Donald Kay is best known for his work in
The Art Of Rock
, plates 3.11, 3.94 & 3.95.
Historic side note - "
Glory
(1968-1972),
regularly attracted standing-room-only crowds at such favorite San Diego rock haunts of the time as the Palace, Cinnamon Cinder and Funky Quarters.
The band was founded by singer-guitarist Jerry Raney, now with the
Beat Farmers
. Other original members include drummer Jack Pinney, now with the Jacks, and bassist Greg Willis. Before joining Glory, Pinney and Willis had been with the
Palace Pages
, who later relocated to Los Angeles and became
Iron Butterfly
.
