Cesar Rojas’ guitar at Hard Rock Cafe, Fukuoka, Japan

This was the view in front of me. On the bottom is one of David Cassidy’s guitars (did your heart start pounding when you read that?) On the top is one of Cesar Rojas’. Seeing that triggered some memories with the missus and me. The two of us have seen Los Lobos perform twice: once at the Paladium in LA for New Year’s (I believe that was 1990). That was a great show. The other time was at the outdoor amphitheater at Balboa Park. During that show, Cesar came up into the audience and played a solo for my wife. We were about two feet away from him. I think I can say that was the closest I’ve ever been to someone in concert. Needless to say, it was an awesome show!
