"On March 28, 1979, Three Mile Island Unit 2 suffered a partial core meltdown. Weeks later, I graduated from college and took stock of my life to date and the future. I moved to Colorado within a year, and that future has been realized, but I still recall my thrill for the colossal quality of music from that era, especially Fusion Jazz and what they now call Classic Rock (OK, oldies). I was inspired then but had no musical ability. I staffed concerts, did some roadie stuff, and a lot of groupie duty. Over the past 10 years, I became re-energized by the quality of musicianship developing right under our noses around the Valley. I still had no musical chops but again did a little roadie stuff and re-qualified as a groupie. I have found the Three Miles of my peaceful Island: Classic Rock, Fusion Jazz and the Local Talent this area produces. That’s Bonedale Kid’s story and I’m sticking to it."
