I used to see ol' Barry & the Automatics play BEFORE Zola Moon hooked up with them. They played every Friday nite at this little dive in Redondo Beach called Popeye's. Barry always had a bunch of talented guys in the band. I thought they were way to good to be playin there, but im glad they did....i lived 2 blocks away so i could drink 'til my back teeth were floating and i wouldnt need to drive home. I just crawled. ah..those were the days.
