Sharlee
“Shine On You Crazy Diamond”
Remember when you were young,
You shone like the sun,
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there’s a look in your eyes,
Like black holes in the sky,
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire
Of childhood and stardom,
Blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!

By Pink Floyd, that visited the Trident in April of 1974, and were extraordinarily friendly. There’s a lot more to this story, maybe for another time? Here’s Sharlee, that had a spectacular diamond set in one of her front teeth. When she smiled, and the light hit her diamond, she literally dazzled anyone caught in her spell. What a beauty… others tried to replicate her bling, but no one came close.

I worked at the Trident from 1974 to 1976 when it was temporarily closed before reopening almost a year later with a new crew & menu. The era covered here is 1966 to 1980 when the Trident was "Magic!" Mark Danforth Lomas 805.845.2888 MDLomas@gmail.com
