The Dead Cell Zones, descended upon San Clemente in rain at 8:00pm and left without a cloud in the sky by 2:00am

What an amazing night...........4 hours of jam time produced a lifetime of stories and experiences
The second time the band has ever played together, and our first paying gig.

We arrived early at Goody's Tavern to begin equipment set up early.........In the rain and drizzle
I saw my friend Tikimatt in the parking lot and he said he had to dissappear for a few minutes as he was being stalked by "super wide glide gals" and he fleed into the hills.....

While we were setting up the band there was this guy that would scream at the top of his lungs
"Rock & Roll".............over and over again..........we all just smiled to each other and said this is going to a wild night..........We began our first set and began to warm up the crowd with "Learning to Fly" by Tom Petty followed by "One Headlight" by the wallflowers...........we had alot of people on stage and when the I got touched by the electric guitar on my right I got a nice little electric shock.....which would always make my face tweak a wierd expression...........

It was really fun to look into the crowd and see familiar faces on the dance floor
at one point in the night I believe the entire dance floor was packed to "American Girl" by Tom Petty!!!!!!!!!!

I am honored to have jammmed with such talented musicians and will always smile upon reflection of the evening with great satisfaction..........

It felt good to "Rock and Roll San Clemente" and my wife and I agree that San Clemente is our home and we must move back as soon as we can

A very special thanks to the man whom inspired us to even consider playing "Goody's Tavern" Robbie Roberson, a gifted drummer of whom we used to go watch his band play at Goodys, a boat builder, surfboard maker, innovator, kind hearted soul

Thanks Robbie you are a true friend and a hero to me
