I’m always up for a photo of the Vine St Brown Derby in Hollywood—especially if it’s color. It went through various stages, but we can date this to around early 1950s because around then, two things happened. The restaurant was painted the brown color we can see here. (Later in the 1950s, it went back to being white again.) And also their Bamboo Room was renamed the Record Room and decorated with works by an artist named Nicholas Volpe. The Derby commissioned him to do around 200 portraits of recording artists (possibly because Capitol Records was just up the street? But that’s just a guess.)
Our program for today features D.T. Christiansen, Editor of oldwest.org. It's a really cool website about--you guessed it--the Old West. We'll talk with D.T. and learn how the website came about and D.T.'s fascination with Old West history. Live stream from the White Stallion Ranch gets underway at 4pm Mountain Standard Time.
