Rockola...

[Steve Parr]

I went to the local 4th of July celebration yesterday, primarily to take pictures of fireworks, but ended up with these, as well.

The name of this band is Rockola. These guys are, probably, the hardest working band in southern Californa. Not only do they play locally, but they're also flown to corporate gigs all over the country. When I moved to San Diego in the early '80's they were the first band I saw. The line-up has changed some over the years.

These guys aren't good, they're crazy good:

Sorry, no pictures of the drummer; the lighting was (as is usually the case for drummers) horrific...

Love the pink Paisley telecaster, the only other person I've seen with one of those is Steve Hogarth of Marillion.

Brad Paisley (go figure) plays one, as well.

I've got one, and used to gig with it occasionally. It now resides in the closet of my office.

One must be quite secure in ones' manhood to get onstage with a pink guitar!

Not if it was a Taylor! ;)
