Bill Fulton on keys or piano with Accent
Bill Fulton piano with Accent at Westlake recalls a night with Accent at Westlake Golf Course’s former 19th Hole lounge. The archived listing names Fulton on keys and Ronnie Crumbly on saxophone. Together, they form the central musical pairing preserved from the engagement. The original record does not provide a complete personnel roster.
Unlike the fuller Cheers listings, this event does not name a drummer, bassist or vocalist. Instead, the surviving entry identifies Accent, Fulton and Ronnie Crumbly at the 19th Hole. The original record leaves the other musicians unnamed. Therefore, the available details offer the clearest picture of the engagement.
Accent at the 19th Hole
The larger property remains active. Westlake Golf Course identifies 4812 Lakeview Canyon Rd. as its current Westlake Village address. Fulton’s event entry adds a musical footnote to that location. At the time, the 19th Hole contributed to the evening entertainment scene there.
Fulton’s original event note says the 19th Hole no longer exists. It also raises the possibility that the lounge later continued under another name. However, the surviving facts tell the essential story. Accent appeared at the Westlake Golf Course address, with Fulton on keys and Ronnie Crumbly on saxophone. Those details distinguish this engagement from the fuller Accent lineup documented at Cheers in Simi Valley.
