Purple Onion March 25, 2008


Tomorrow night at the Purple Onion live onstage will be guitarist Gary Lindsay performing some good old rock and roll. Oh, did we mention that it's the Purple Onion in Mazitland Mexico. Gary's vacationing and took his guitar with him to have even more fun. Todays picture is Sugar Cane's Brian Pannell & Tim Zurowski playing at Victoria's Purple Onion circa 1974. Yesterday, the Hall Of Fame edition of "The Peace" was released with the complete list of all Victoria Rock & Roll Music Hall Of Fame inductees. Didn't get a copy? Just e mail us at [email protected] and we'll fire one off to you.

Todays audio update: Blues X Five ( Smokestack Lightning 1965)
