World Headquarters rocked yesterday. It was my pleasure to host The Gents. To all you little kiddies who weren't around in the 60's, they were a band from Utah County that entered and won a national battle of the bands contest. The band members were Craig Rollins, Lance Robert, Mike Ostler, Barry Jensen and Kevin Rollins. It was a huge deal. They were featured in the Sept. edition of life magazine. I tried to put the link for the page of the magazine in here but of course that would require an elementary school level knowledge of the internet and I couldn't do it. But anyway 80% of the band showed up and jammed through a few tunes. Blows me away when four guys who haven't played together for at least a decade can sit down and start blasting out Crossroads at a really decent level. Four GREAT musicians. Loved hearing them play and just as much enjoyed seeing some old friends. I pretty much grew up with these guys and later became the roadie for one of their later iterations named Copperfield which launched my meteoric rise to roadie for the Osmonds. Really great hearing Craig playing my favorite Clapton Rainbow strat replica. The man can play a guitar. I figured it out that he has been playing guitar for about 44 years. I can't wait to see how good I am when I am a hundred and one.

Now I would have liked to have been there! I sure have a cute dad, don't I!
wish i were there! i just remember barry, i thought he was the coolest.....he wore clogs which really left an impression on me. i've had this thing for guys in clogs although i never see any. still trying to get joe to wear some........hmmmmmm, something's just not right with that picture but it was right with barry! next time, call me!
i think i recognize a couple guys in the pictures but for the sake of my childhood memory, how about labeling who they are in the pictures?!
I don' think I know how. But standing up are Lance Barry and Craig. Mike Ostler is sitting down.
Why wasn't I invited? You know I've been sleeping with one of the band members sister for a long time. Does that make me a groupie in law?
I'm going to tell Becky.
Dad hope you were still a good roadie at your mancave? I'm sure Lance would have put you in your place if you weren't. And Larry, the internet is a big place...I wouldn't mention things like that on here!
