ROCKIN’ GOOD TIME: About 30-plus years of South Bay music history got together Saturday night at Peachwood’s Steakhouse at Pasatiempo for a send-off of employees recently laid off by Clear Channel.

Among the musicians performing were Robert Berry, founder of Soundtek Studios in Campbell, San Jose Rocks founder Dan Orloff, session man Dale Okkerman,

longtime Doobie Brother Tiran Porter, Greg Kihn and his morning show partner Chris Jackson, and three bands that have won KFOX’s Last Band Standing contest: the Groove Kings, the Megatones and the Sun Kings.

The crowd of 100 guests raised nearly $1,000 for Unconditional Love Animal Rescue. The party was dubbed “Lauriepalooza” in honor of longtime South Bay DJ Laurie Roberts, who said it may become an annual event.

I hope we will get to see photos of the event and more stories from the folks who attended. I am very glad to see a great turnout for Laurie and even happier to see such a great amount raised for Unconditional Love Animal Rescue. Our family believes wholeheartedly in saving all animals ( as can be seen in how many animals we have taken in over the last few years ourselves, we love kitties and puppies :-)
