This section took a while to get together, but it’s hard to keep track of all those years! These first shots are of my brother Bob and myself, he is the dude that turned me on to Freddie King and The Allman Brothers Band. He also snuck me into night clubs to sit in with some of the best musicians in the biz! If it wasn't for Bob and the the love and believe of my wife Jani –there would be no MRB.

This shot is of Bob Gulley, the best man at my wedding, Bro Bob, Me and Larry Hansen (Alabama) jamming at The Beach Ball, Newport Beach, CA. This club is where I went to rock & roll boot camp at the age of 19 in 1978.

This was the band that made want to do it! I got to sneek in to the
backstage area at Pinnwinnie’s Iron Factory in Fullerton, CA in 1970. Reggie Loudermilk, Will Brandy, Arthur Goldstein and Bob Reilly.
