This photo, taken at the Banana Boat Lounge in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on January 1, 1982, shows Patricia Marie Gifford celebrating the New Year. Behind her stands Dennis Sochor, the man who would later that night kidnap and kill her.

He confessed to her murder and was ultimately sentenced to death. Despite his confession, however, the body of Patricia was never found.

David Crosby and Peter Tork at Monterey Pop Festival, June 1967 (photo by Ann Moses); Crosby at Peter's house in 1969, photo by Henry Diltz.

In memoriam: David Crosby

Q: "hey @thedavidcrosby what’s your opinion of the monkees?" David Crosby: "I was good friends with Tork so I will not say" - Twitter, June 26, 2020

"David let me have his — well, not his apartment, he had a house, and David let me stay there for most of a year. It was sort of by way of interest on the loan [of $25,000] I gave him to buy his boat, and I stayed there with my, with my then girlfriend [Reine Stewart], and our daughter [Hallie] was born in that house." - Peter Tork, GOLD 104.5, 1999

Peter Tork: “First, I met Crosby when I was a Village hippie. Nothing had happened for me yet, I was still singing folk songs with my little banjo and passing the basket. I knew McGuinn, who had been in the Village scene with me; we used to play guitar together in the apartments and smoke a little weed and sing and play together, and I knew him pretty well. He went off to L.A. and came back with the Byrds, and they were doing a TV show, and they came back to the Village. McGuinn said, ‘Let me show you my old stomping grounds,’ and they walked into some of the cafes that I used to inhabit, so I had dinner with those guys once and met Crosby there. Interestingly enough, I remember McGuinn and Crosby, and I hardly remember the other guys at all. I met them all there; all five were there, but I hardly remember anybody, except for some reason, Crosby was there. Beard-less, mustache-less, but still with that kind of subtly gleeful look on his face that he always has.” […] Q: “Crosby has fond memories of you, but he remembers you as ‘a little innocent.’ Do you have any sense of what he might have meant by that?” PT: “I guess he was starting to screw around with some pretty serious drugs. In terms of the drugs, I smoked dope and I did my share of acid, but as far as the harder stuff — what we called the harder stuff — I wasn’t averse to a nighttime cocaine run, but amazingly, I never got addicted to it, I never got caught. In the middle of a nighttime run, you want more, but you go to bed and you wake up the next day, and you’re not like, ‘Oh God, I’ve got to have another one; I’ve got to have another one.’ For some reason, I’m a pretty addictive personality, but coke didn’t grab me, and I didn’t ever do enough of anything else to tell the tale. I don’t know that Crosby was talking about drugs when he was talking about my innocence. I am absolutely of the optimistic believer in the better angels of our nature type of guy, and I absolutely was then." - 2007 interview, published by Rolling Stone in 2019 (read more here)

"I borrowed $25,000 from my friend Peter Tork of The Monkees and went to Fort Lauderdale in search of a schooner. I found one that looked just like the John Alden piece I admired years ago and bought it. The 74-foot boat was called Mayan and was built in 1947 from Honduran mahogany." - David Crosby, itBoat dot com, July 28, 2015

"Once [Stephen] Stills and David Crosby and my then girlfriend [Reine Stewart] and I were jamming together [at my house] and I leaning into the drums something ferocious, banging on cymbals and lashing out pretty good, until a city councilman and a cop came over and we were so loud that we drowned out conversation down the hill, apparently." - Review Mag, May 2016

Sam at Yot Bar & Kitchen, a restaurant by the sea in Fort Lauderdale, making cocktails 🍸 this is a return to the past as a bartender, it appears that he never left this profession, but maybe he sat outside and enjoyed the view.

It seems this is an innovative gin drink 🍸 he substituted apples 🍏 for cucumber 🥒 😜

That he is an actor who has not yet fallen into the spotlight in a non-acting job as an alcohol promoter to earn money, instead of honing his acting skills, has been a wake-up call. 😕

Guess who’s the proprietor of YOT Bar & Kitchen @yotlmc - Mike Linder - the same owner of South Bar Kitchen @southpmp - Sam knows him well and also operates the Jet Runway Café and Silver Lining In-flight Catering. The world is small 🤨

It’s not the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, but possibly Sam’s interests lie elsewhere😜😜😜

Fort Lauderdale Boat Show TRAGEDY: What happened?? We MUST learn from th...

[hollywoodmuqtadar]

marketingmarine

Marketing Marine" is a term that may refer to marketing strategies and services tailored for the marine industry. This industry includes businesses involved in maritime logistics, boating, water sports, commercial fishing, and other ocean-related ventures. With growing attention on sustainability, innovation, and technology, the marine industry has begun adopting diverse marketing tactics to engage customers, investors, and stakeholders. Here’s a breakdown of essential strategies and approaches that help marine businesses thrive in a competitive and specialized market.

1. Digital Marketing and Social Media Engagement

Marine businesses increasingly rely on digital platforms to reach their target audiences. Through social media channels like Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook, companies can showcase new products, sustainable practices, or industry insights. Engaging with audiences through informative content or behind-the-scenes views of marine operations helps build brand loyalty. Visuals of yachts, boats, oceanic vistas, and environmental conservation efforts are particularly effective in drawing attention and engagement.

2. Content Marketing for Education and Awareness

Content marketing plays a vital role in marine marketing, as many customers require in-depth knowledge about products or services. Blog posts, whitepapers, and case studies that focus on industry trends, environmental initiatives, and product specifications add value by educating potential clients. An example might be a boating company producing a series of articles about the benefits of eco-friendly vessels, addressing both consumer interest in sustainable choices and positioning the brand as environmentally responsible.

3. SEO and Localized Marketing

Many marine companies rely heavily on localized SEO strategies to reach customers in specific regions. For example, yacht charter businesses targeting affluent travelers might focus on keywords like "luxury yacht rental in the Caribbean." This helps attract regional customers searching for relevant marine services, driving organic traffic to the business's website.

4. Trade Shows and Networking Events

Trade shows like the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) are prime marketing opportunities for marine businesses. Attending or sponsoring such events allows companies to showcase their products, make connections, and stay updated on industry trends. Networking also enhances B2B partnerships and builds brand recognition within the sector.

5. Emphasizing Sustainability Initiatives

The marine industry faces scrutiny over environmental impacts. Brands that prioritize sustainability, such as using green technologies or supporting ocean conservation, appeal to a broader audience. Highlighting these efforts in marketing campaigns can build credibility and attract eco-conscious customers, especially millennials and Gen Z.

In summary, a combination of digital marketing, SEO, content, and in-person networking enhances marketing strategies for marine businesses, helping them establish a strong presence in a niche industry. Through these targeted approaches, marine companies can better engage audiences, showcase sustainability efforts, and ultimately drive growth
