Anita Baker played the Open Air Theater at SDSU on 9/11/87 at her prime - we were there, were you? This is one of the songs she played:

I was going to click past this song, until I noticed it had 51,000,000+ views. This is the first comment on YouTube, which recalls a time when regular folks could buy a house for less than $100,000 and live happily ever after: Lol some years back I played this song...

They say this is it - the last time around! Lynyrd Skynyrd: Last of the Street Survivors Farewell Tour is coming to the Mattress Firm Amphitheatre on Saturday night, May 19th. Back in the day when we communicated by CB radios, my handle was 'Freebird'. I've seen them...

This has to be one of the wildest songs on YouTube. It looks like Graham and David just came from smoking a doobie out back, Neil is trippin', and Stephen is trying his best to keep up with Tom Jones - and Tom's laughing at him (at 2:03). This is from 'This Is Tom...

Chip Kinman

The Dils were probably the most famous band to come out of Carlsbad - Chip and Tony Kinman went to Carlsbad High School! The Dils morfed into Rank and File, who played at CSUF when I was the director in 1983 (photo above). Was the Dils the first band you guys were in?...
