Today would've been Lyle Mays' 67th Bday. He passed earlier this year.

"Kamala" is Kamala Parks who used to do the booking for all of the Gilman St. bands.
I used to go to 924 in Berkeley once in a while back in the mid and late 80's.
Saw some good bands there honing some of their tunes before they became well known...ie: Rancid, Green Day.

I was living down in LA during the beginning of the new wave /post punk/ ska rebirth eras.I recently found a bunch of videos on YT of shows I went to in Toronto as a teenager. The guys I used to go with are way easier to identify than I am (one of them was an Indian dude with offensive lineman size and hair like Courtney Love and the other basically looked like a 6'4" Archie Andrews) but I spotted myself stage diving and crowd surfing a few times. Really fun to watch now and a nice bit of nostalgia.
The Crusaders.....
Joe Sample - Keyboards
Wayne Henderson - Trombone
Wilton Felder- Bass, saxophone
Stix Hooper - Drums
Larry Carlton - Guitar

Those were some fun & crazy times. The club scene back then was incredible.
In hindsight, I'm glad to have experienced it...and happy I survived it all.
I lived down in the dregs of Vancouver during the heyday of the Vancouver punk rock scene (~1979-80). Not for the faint of heart but definitely something I'll never forget being a small part of.
