Paul Eichlin in the Casino . He has a cigarette dangling from his lips as if he made his bones in some speakeasy on Bourbon Street. Paul Goldfinger photo July, 2016. © Click to see Paul better.

We wrote about Paul last year when Bob Bowné photographed him on Ocean Avenue in the Grove with his 1961 Thunderbird (see link below).  But Paul is really famous because he plays an electric organ in the Casino, featuring old merry-go-round style music.  It is such a delicious throwback to another era, and Paul just goes on and on, rarely missing a beat.  He nods happily when someone tosses some dough into his plastic pail.  He seems to be there all the time, as if that is all he does. Stop by and say hello to a fellow Grover.
