Wow… over 2,000 responses on last week’s post! 🎸🔥

One of you said it must’ve been the rock 'n' roll story that lit the fire. A real one. And that got me thinking...

What if?

What if things had gone just a little differently for my band, Sonny Farlow and the Resurrection?

🎤 We were set to open for Paul Revere and the Raiders at the Ruidoso Convention Center; TV stars with gold records like Kicks, Hungry, and Indian Reservation. But ticket sales were slow... and the show got canned.

🎸 Next up: Opening for Gary Lewis and the Playboys at Liberty Hall in El Paso. They were #1 with This Diamond Ring, and I was pumped, my younger brother Philip was finally gonna see me play. But… they asked for union cards. We didn’t have any. No card, no gig.

🌉 And then, the big one. Fillmore West. Yes, THAT Fillmore West in San Francisco, where Hendrix, Joplin, The Doors, and so many legends played. We were booked. Ready. Signed. Then two of our guys backed out. One joined the Navy, the other had kids and a day job. Just like that… the dream show was off.

It’s wild to look back and think… what might have been?

But I’m still here, still rocking, and still grateful to share these stories with all of you.

Keep the music—and the memories—alive. 🎶✨
