The invitation "Want to come over and watch my slideshow?" doesn't typically generate mass enthusiasm, unless it's being extended by Americana guru and "histo-tainer" Charles Phoenix. The Californian collector/orator entices audiences with an action-packed visual journey that celebrates '50s and '60s SoCal kitsch in Kodak-steeped color. In swinging style, Phoenix takes viewers back to Judy Jetson-era California, and some mid-century highlights: vintage LA car culture, Knott's Berry Farm, Disneyland, hey-dey Hollywood, "space-age suburbia," and the desert romance of martini-soaked Palm Springs.
