I'm sure it is since I saw Sonny and Brownie there several times. 
Also, Josh White, Jose Feliciano and locals like Joe Mock who won a 
guitar there in a contest one evening.  I recall owner Les Stork was 
a karate guy who would occasionally go onstage in full regalia to 
break bricks.  This might have been done so he wouldn't need to hire 
a bouncer.

I also remember seeing the Irish Rovers...in those days their act was 
considerably more adult and rowdy.

I also recall seeing local singers Tom Northcott as well as Susan 
Pleskevitz (sp?) who later married Terry Jacks and formed the Poppy 
Family.

If I follow this timeline further I'll have to remember Retinal 
Circus and the Easter Be-Ins in Stanley Park which could be difficult.

cheers,  Vic
