Anyone else going to the Zac Brown Band show in Roanoke at the Salem Civic Center on Wednesday (5/4)? I was also wondering if anyone else was planning to tailgate this show.

Will still be in S.C. getting ready for inventory. Have fun! (Last show I went to in Salem was three bands for $5, opening
band was Nantucket, followed by Cheap Trick, then AC/DC) I know I am old very old. I have no Johnny's Tavern to work at
now and WROV AM is long gone too. I guess I need to keep my present job.

I'm just old enough to have gotten to play at Johnny's Tavern with two giant X's on my hands because I was underage. I think I was around 15! Good Times!

I miss WROV AM too though. If not for it, I'd have never gotten to hear the song "Open the Door Richard!"

What band were you in? I worked there basically while Johnny was on leave, shall we say. We had some
staple bands like, Diamonds, The Kings, January Rose, Stratus, Staxx, even Odyssey before we went more
rock. I remember Danny Joe Brown playing there and Larry Uzzell from Nantucket had a band there as well.
Thats what I can remember right now, that was a long time ago and I was a different person then.
