I bet we crossed paths back in the day. I was in So Cal til 1995. Frequented the KNAC events & remember all the Mark & Brian days with KLOS. I lived in HB and other areas in Orange county. Frequented the Marquee quite often.
What a great player... great guy as well. I listed that intro in one of my threads.

Agree with Vito, Lynch, Warren, and it's awesome that Chris Oliva is mentioned here. I was just thinking about him yesterday cause I heard Doc (former drummer) on a local radio ad here. Chris had such cool phrasing. That band never really survived his death imo.
