Bill Fulton on keys or piano with Ronnie Crumbly

Bill Fulton and Ronnie Crumbly at Fin’s Seafood Grill featured Fulton on keyboards at Fin’s Seafood Grill in Westlake Village. Ronnie Crumbly joined Fulton on saxophone. Fulton earned $60 for the date. Fin’s Seafood Grill operated at 982 S Westlake Blvd, Westlake Village, California.

A recurring Westlake Village date

Ronnie Crumbly appears repeatedly across Fulton’s Fin’s engagements, which makes this date part of an ongoing working association. Several Fin’s dates identify Crumbly on saxophone, while others simply list his name. This appearance keeps the role exactly as given for the engagement. No song list or additional personnel appear in the available information, so the account stays with what is known.

Fin’s Seafood Grill, formerly Village Bayou, stood at 982 S Westlake Blvd in Westlake Village. The restaurant has since closed. In addition, Fulton played multiple engagements there with different singers and instrumentalists. This date belongs to that run of small-group appearances rather than a one-off concert presentation.

The restaurant and the city

For geographic context, the City of Westlake Village notes that modern development began with master planning in the 1960s. Incorporation followed in 1981 for the Los Angeles County portion. Fin’s Seafood Grill occupied a Westlake Boulevard address inside that community. Fulton’s appearance joined the area’s broader restaurant and live-music activity.

Meanwhile, Fulton’s live work during this period extended well beyond a single restaurant. His keyboardist and pianist credits list additional appearances across Southern California and elsewhere. Fin’s nevertheless became one recurring Westlake Village stop. The restaurant’s repeated bookings created a recognizable thread in his performance calendar. Across these Fin’s appearances, Fulton worked with saxophonists, singers, drummers, bassists, and unidentified partners on different dates.

Even within a long run at the same restaurant, the engagement remains specific. Fulton’s keyboard role stayed consistent, while the other musicians and payment details varied. In addition, those changing combinations give each Fin’s appearance its own identity and keep the account focused on what actually happened rather than adding unsupported performance details.
