    Going through other people's junk at a swap meet can be like forensic anthropology. I wonder when these guys were a gigging band if they wore Members Only jackets...

    That cab screams “built in the 80’s”, but I would think they would be more along the lines of this...
    The Boners
    ...then, prolly not the same band, but who’s original anymore, anyway?

    Aah, didn’t know that one; spent a bit of time down on Hawthorn Blvd. almost 30 years ago, worked at the Penny Lane store there.

    I kinda did too but buying someone's toilet seat seemed weird to me. Buying anything off a former Boner seemed weird to me.

    I suppose they were contemporaries with Fishbone. Maybe there was a weird rivalry.
