The 60's-70's Orange County California

I know there are a lot of you who will remember The OC, before it was called that. I was in a band, still am sometimes. Lost track of friends from then, I have been through a few changes. I was less tolerant with people in general. I must say, I wish I could do it all again. And I don't think that regrets are neccessarily a bad thing. They may make you think twice before doing that again... So, I originally started this by answering a blogger about the Santa Ana Clubhouse in the 70's, where I used to play, occasionally, and I was searching for anyone who might remember the Band Box on Chapman at Harbor, where there is a Target now. I remember it was a house converted into a clubhouse where bands could play. I must have been 13-14 or so, which would make it 1964-65. Just a vague memory, one of the first gigs I ever played... a wonderous time for me, and no one seems to have written about it, my doing a search on the web.
