My parents used to rent a place for our summer vacation, just a few hundred yards from the Brookdale lodge. As a kid (maybe 12 years old, circa ‘64) I used to sit in the lounge, mesmerized by the Ink Spots’ sound. Despite growing up in the Haight Ashbury, (a crossing guard at the intersection of Haight and Ashbury in 1966), with my love for Jefferson Airplane, the Dead, and the whole 60’s genre, I have always had a large chunk of my musical heart owned by the Ink Spots. There is no instrument that evokes the emotion of the exquisite harmonies of the human voice championed by the Ink Spots.
I must say I am very jealous. I would have loved to be at the Brookdale for an Ink Spots show...at least one!! There is something about them....thank you for the story!
