The horrible mish-mash of cultures and time periods in these photos has my head spinning! The hair styles are clearly from the 70's, and is that lap-steel guy playing an electric guitar? The aloha shirts don't look to be from the 1940's either. I wonder if anybody watching this when it was first broadcast noticed how un-authentic it was. Hilarious and fascinating at the same time! But in the 70's, I guess time period authenticity did not seem to be a top priority in TV... like the early episodes of Happy Days looked fairly convincingly 1950's, but by the end of the series, everyone had feathered 70's hair!
