My band Roxx from North Little Rock and Jacksonville, Arkansas in 1977:

We have reunited for the Arkansas Alzheimer's 5th benefit concert on April 9th. On the older photo, the guy in the back center is no longer with us (he's not dead, just isn't playing anymore). The outside 2 in the new picture are new to the band. The guy on the outer right was actually our manager/roadie way back then and now is our bass player. He is also the CEO of an advertising company in Little Rock that is promoting the benefit concert. My Mom unfortunately is suffering from it at age 90 and it makes me feel good to contribute.

 

The license plate on the 64 Chevelle is our drummer's original plate that he used to have on a.....you guessed it...Trans Am!

 

 

Post any before and after shots if you have them.

Bring back the suits!!!

 

I know right? Someone's grandmother sewed those back then. [thumbup]

 

Cool ...Which one is you? in both pictures.

 

Middle right top photo and the one holding the white Firebird now [biggrin]. In old photo drummer was middle left and now holds the sticks and the other guitarist is sitting in both. Damn 39 years ago. Just have a hard time grasping that.

 

 

That Roxx.

 

Couldn't resist. Hehe.

 

I had no idea our drummer still had the license plate. [crying]
