| In Memory Of The Great JOHN RODMAN We had the good fortune to have John with us from 2005 until his passing in November 2007. We were happy to have him aboard playing rhythm and lead guitar and some occasional bass. In addition to being an accomplished musician, He also had a wonderful studio in Pinion Pines and has recorded and engineered music for some great local bands like Feisty Joe,The Jon Linn Band and Jekkyl, as well as doing a substantial amount of commercial recording for Southern California's film and TV industry. The day has not come that we don't think of him or would not give our souls to have him here with us. WE LOVE YOU, JOHN |
