I walked into the Redwood Bar & Grill in Downtown Los Angeles this evening… and stepped into a tesseract to mid-1990s Cleveland, Ohio—and I’m not complaining about that in the least!

That’s because Biblical Proof Of UFOs (now an L.A. band) and Duvalby Bros. (actually just Buzz Boron and Joey Shipman who flew in for vacay and a hang with their bros) were among that select group of trailblazing musicmakers that made Ohio such a wonderful place to be when I was in my twenties.

What did the packed L.A. audience (heavy on KXLU folks) think of the performances? Cleveland rocked their socks off!

Biblical Proof Of UFOs… you can see Buzz Boron in the audience (in a suit jacket, back turned to camera) watching & getting ready to pounce on the mic.

Oh shit! Suit jacket is off—Buzz is gettin’ serious!

Duvalby Brothers singer Buzz Boron has left us a legacy of incredible music
