\"\"<\/p>\n

It was just another Friday night in Santa Cruz, California.<\/p>\n

My friend Star La’Moan<\/strong> and her Kitchenettes were playing at the Poet & Patriot, and my friend Stretch was also there.<\/p>\n

As you may recall, Stretch Riedle<\/a> was the DJ at KFJC Radio whose LOUIE LOUIE shows inspired the big Maximum LOUIE LOUIE marathon<\/a> that led to the documentary project behind this very webpage.<\/p>\n

… and the Poet & Patriot<\/strong> was the nightclub where Stretch experienced a near-fatal cardiac arrest the day after Thanksgiving last year, saved by the heroic actions of our friend Wendy Lang<\/strong>, and the Santa Cruz County Emergency Response team.<\/p>\n

Friday was also the night before Stretch’s birthday, as we raised a pint or two to celebrate this very special moment at a very special place.<\/p>\n

…. and we’re STILL celebrating!!<\/p>\n

Here’s to many more birthdays, my friend!<\/p>\n

Here’s Star La’Moan & The Kitchenettes<\/strong> performing a jazzy reggae version of that special song live at Poet Patriot in Santa Cruz, CA on April 20, 2018.<\/p>\n
