Once again, apologies for the interruption in service. This time it wasn't our server's fault at all. Circumstances seemingly beyond everyone's control caused our domain name registration to come within an inch of expiring and a last minute glitch in the renewal process made it go inactive for a while.



It's fixed. We're back. Permanently, I hope.



Sorry about that.



-- Jerry Hollombe, Webmaster

Your name came up in family discussion tonight and I was telling my daughter how much I loved going to the Garrett and listening to your wonderful renditions of country music that I had never heard before because I had just moved to LA from N Y. My husband and I became regulars at the club. It was such fun and you were so wonderful that I still remember your singing with pleasure. A rather old fan by now with really great memories.

Many thanks to sysadmin Gene Turnbow for getting us back on line as quickly as he did.



To everyone else, sorry about the temporary hiatus in access. We expect smoother sailing from here on out.

Whew! FINALLY got the web server back online! Sorry for the interruption in service, but thegarret.info server now has a connection to the internet all to itself. It should be much easier to get to the site from now on.



What a great site this is, too. Of all the web sites I host, this one is by far the most successful.

What a blow-mind. Been on a trip down memory lane on the net and found The Garret!!!My youth just visualized before my eyes. And then going through the pics, finding the Bonny and Clyde Party, which I remember so well and even a photo of me with my good friends Cheryl Thomas and Cathy Singelterry. I couldn't believe it. Would love to get in touch with them for old times sake. Cathy has left an e-mail address that I will write to, but where is Cheryl?

For myself, I've been living and working in Germany for the past 32 years, which is more than a long time to not have been in touch with So.Cal.

Here's wishing Terrea and Co. all the best and a much overdue "Thank You" for some wonderful times way back then.

Fondest regards, Heidi

Hi,

This is too good to be true! The very mention of "The Garret" brings back a flood of fond memories. This was where I first sang in front of a live audience. I remember Terra, BJ, Stacy and Sue well and of course, "Nino", the guy from Mexico City that charmed us all with his Mexican songs. Always wondered what happend to him? Then there was his side kick, a guy from Italy who always had some new Italian buzz word or phraze for the week. He always had two good looking girls hanging on him, while I had to put up with just one. Then there was Tony Mafia who wrote a lot of his own songs. I was a college student and fledgling night club singer. After doing gigs around town, we would all congregate at the Garret. Terra Lea made us all welcome and created a snug harbor for us Foundlings de Musica.

Cheers,

Jay Greer/Saloon Singer

I owned a folk music bar in Santa Barbara (Goleta) in 1965. I heard of your place a visited once. Phil Campos was there, and I hired his group (New Folk Trio) to play in S.B. It was a great weekend, and we even managed to make a few bucks. Somehow, I lost track of the group and to this day, do not know what happened to Phil. I saw some correspondence on your website that indicated he had passed away. Can you shed any light? Thanks for a trip down memory lane.

Hello Terrea

This is your namesake again. I wanted to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for the CD you sent me of your magnificent voice (is there a possibility that one can wear out a compact disc?)

My mother continues to hit the thrift stores for clowns for me, I'm beginning to think my clowns need a apartment of their very own. Im sorry I havent called for a bit e-mail me and Ill send you my new number and once again its a honor to have your name

Love

Terra

My God! What wonderful memories! The Garret will live on.

I was very touched my BJ's passing...I never knew her as well as I did Terrea or Stacey. But I do remember BJ sharing a piece of watermelon with me at curbside on June 19th one hot summers night.(I think it was a first!)

Everyone worked very hard for the revamping- it was a good time. I wish you all the best-

Cheryl

I'm glad to see some new messages here - and that other fans are finding this site... I'm glad you are not letting it fall off the web. I am hunting for some records, as I was foolish and didn't purchase any of the beautiful Terrea music when I lived there - after all, I only had to go there to here her live, which was the best way.... I'll check this site every so often - now that I see new names are dropping in.

Are you THE Jerry Holombe who worked at TTI or now CDC

I'm retired from July 2000 but still keep in touch with several old timers at Citibank, er, Citigroup.

Respond if you have the time!

Regards, Dick madden.

what a terrific suprise to find this website on the Garret. Have spent the last hour browsing and reading and it's really a trip back. Having met Britt when I was only seventeen I had to wait until eighteen to start work at the Garret. Having spent many years both working and frequenting the Garret I have many, many fond memories. I was so sorry to learn of B.J.'s passing. Terrea and Sue, would love to hear from you. MaryLou

Hi! We would like to wish everyone a great holiday season and a Happy New Year to all of you! Wish more people would visit the site and say hello. Jerry has done such a terrific job so we would love to have more people enjoy the fruit of his labors. Love, Terrea and Sue

I am so excited to have found this site!!! I was a regular from 1962 thru 1966(ish). I knew John Hardy, Kenny Glubin (and his friend Stan), John Coty...and Phil Campos. Can you tell me how Phil died?? I was deeply involved with the happenings of that era...I was 16 when I first discovered Hollywood and the counter culture. You missed one hot-spot - the Chez Paulette on Sunset. Also does anyone remember Andre - I think he was door-person at the Garret. Those were amazing times. And Terrea if you read this...I was the girl with long dark hair who was involved with Phil Campos in 1963, met him at the Garret. Although actually I had more of a crush on the wonderful women there!! Thank you for bringing back these memories!!!

I was a long-time devoted fan of Terrea Lea and The Garret.

Terrea was one of the finest singers and guitar stylists I ever heard. Is it possible she is around, and I can contact her? We knew each other in Hollywood many years ago when I worked for Southern Music Publishers. I am now retired and living in Florida. I would love to write her.

I was a non-regular, but fairly frequent, audience member in the late 60s.



I have just learned how to do a web search (finally) and have been plugging in names of old high school friends. "Lacy Bosquez" brought me to your web site.



Since I am such an internet-beginner, I am not able to figure out how to contact Lacy (or if she's even the right one, for that matter). If Lacy attended North Hollywood HS (about '64-'67), I'd love to hear from her.



Back to your wonderful website: It brought back so many memories. My first reaction was that the picture looked familiar and reminded me of the coffee house my friends and I used to go to. It took a while until I realized this WAS the coffee house. I had completely forgotten the name. Thank you for doing this! And thanks for the memories!

I was a Garret regular for a year or two in 1963-1965. I was thrilled to find this site when I checked on Terrea's name for web info. I have enjoyed the last two hours scouring this site - I'm glad someone like you cared to go to such great effort. My thoughts are flooding so fast that I don't know what to highlite from my memories, but, I guess it'll be that I used to make use of the open mike to sing my little parodies while I strummed my baritone uke. My one hit(?) was "This land is Disney's". I am now living back in my home town, Antioch, ILL. I came back and worked 30 years in our local Post Office and am now retired. Thanks again - and I hope I can find a Terrea Lea at the Garret record to purchase... I'm glad she is doing well - Thanks, again...Oh, is my name listed in the regulars list (although misspelled)? Perhaps you got those names from the sign-in sheets on Hoot nights?

The Garret Web site has now been in operation for two years and I just renewed its domain name registration for two more. A number of old friends have checked in to visit, but many more are yet to be heard from. We're looking forward to it.



Many thanks to all who helped and continue to help make the Web site a success. Looks like it's going to be around for a while.



Best wishes,

Jerry Hollombe, Webmaster

Thanks much, Mary. This site is a labor of love, intended to help former Garret folk find each other. I'm always glad to hear it's working.



For those who are wondering what reply Mary is talking about, the Webmaster gets an e-mail copy of everything posted to the Guest Book. Depending on the message and how busy I am, I sometimes reply by e-mail instead of here.



I'd love to put up a page about the Garret's Hoot Nights, but have no photos and remember few names. If anyone has pictures of a Garret Hoot and would be willing to loan them, they'd be much appreciated.



Best wishes,



Jerry Hollombe, Webmaster
