In the early 60’s I was with McCann/SF and went to NYC for Lucky Lager to develop a musical theme. Got a interview with Jack Tinker Associates (in the Dorset Hotel penthouse) which in those bygone days was, along with DDB, the creative pinnacle. Lotsa money was waved in my face, but back then it meant I’d never afford to return to the Westcoast where salaries were a third less than MadAve pay. But money couldn’t buy the blessings of San Francisco & environs. Later I learned that Mary Wells filled the slot, and the rest, as they say, is history.
