(always in socks to protect the roller skating floor.) i still have my "program" from one of the yardbirds' appearances at the rollarena. i was there every friday night that i wasn't on restriction.

I now have a Doors poster that was given to my dad by Bill. Thanks Bill for all the scraps of paper you let me have to doodle on!

Paul Honeycutt on September 19, 2009 at 09:38 PM said: Can't wait to get the book! All of those bands I'd hear about playing dances on KYA back when I was 12 or 13 all in this book. Amazing. There's even some bands I got to hear at Jr. High and High School dances. Nymbus was my fave in high school. Used to see them at Weeks Park. Rock on!
