Give me a ‘G’, Cubberley

Gregg Rolie. 
His former high school, which closed in 1980, had a reunion today for about 50 members of the Gunn class of ‘81– those who spent two years at each school. “Gregg Rolie” was a clue in a game; he’s an historical figure here, in South Palo Alto. 
I crashed the party with my old coach and two former teammates. I said I was a concert promoter, bringing a handful of shows this summer to the small amphitheater 50 yards from our picnic area, Mitchell Park (e.g., Chuck Prophet and The Mission Express, Sam Reider Jorge Glemm duo, 7/30/23). 
One of our teammates remembers baseball with Marc Geiger (SaveLive, William Morris, Lollapalooza— Paly ‘80); Geiger texted me back that he “misses” the guy.
They cranked Steve Miller “Fly Like An Eagle” from a boombox or mp3 port. 
You left out a “G” bossman. 
Gee.

I’ve never met Marc Geiger but we’ve been texting since he and Greg Kurstin were at BottleRock talking about Tommy Jordan— Kurstin partner in Geggy Tah. My blog apparently is a source on post-Geggy Tah bandmembers.
