The former Sportsman Tavern at 1055 E Holt Blvd in Pomona, CA:
"Dancing Fridays and Saturdays, Bowling, Shuffleboard" (1962 phone book).
Ray Collins walks in and hears Zappa playing in an R & B band. Ends up in
Studio Z recording "How's yer bird?" and later joins the Soul Giants playing
at the Broadside, just across the street from the Sportsman.

"Ray Collins called me one night to replace another guitar player in the band he had been working with (The Soul Giants) since he'd gotten in a fight with him. They had a good gig at a club in Pomona called The Broadside. After the sax player, Davy Coronado, quit I took over, changed the band name, and eventually this recording was made".
