Martin Ryder is in Ibiza checking out the Flynn sights and reports what one of Errol Flynn’s frequent haunts in Spain looks like today, he was even rewarded with a special sight at the end of his Flynn Detective work …
Martin says the bar likely looks much the same way it did in the 50’s and he was rewarded outside by finding who, but Robin Hood himself all in Silver!
Thanks, Martin!

I always like this album and was listening to it on YouTube and once again became fascinated with the cover photo. This is what I found on Wikepedia: Miss Christine appeared on the front cover of Frank Zappa’s 1969 album Hot Rats. She is shown halfway through emerging from an empty swimming pool on the infamous Errol Flynn estates in the Hollywood Hills. She also dated rock and roll singer Alice Cooper, as well as Todd Rundgren from Utopia fame and a member of the Flying Burrito Brothers. Miss Christine died on November 5, 1972, of a heroin overdose in a house in Cohasset, Massachusetts, which at the time was being rented out by musician Jonathan Richman and his original group, The Modern Lovers.[7] Her death occurred shortly after she had spent nearly a year in a full body cast to correct a crooked spine.

Bishop, California, featuring the Sherwyn Summit & various locations in Inyo County, some of which can be seen in the following Silver City trailer:
