 This was an ad from Bachlor's Beat in 1969 for the Lucky Nugget from left: Ralph Riveria drums, Jimmy lead, Johnny Collier rhythm & vocals, Dick Mathison bass & vocals. Later in Christmas Eve 1971 Johnny bought the nugget (Funny note: My mama would go to the hospital once a nite ((which wasn't close)) when she was pregnant with me and the next night out to the Nugget in AJ - poor Dick would stare at her all night and sweat buckets if she changed positions in the booth he would turn white as a ghost - He was sure relieved when I was born. Then as fate would have it, mama & daddy took me out for my 21st birthday and he happened to be there playing) |
 Jimmy, Ralph, Johnny, Larry Daniels (Larry was DJ & program director for KNIX in Phoenix Arizona When he was DJ for Buck Owens in Bakersfield he had a band and gave Merle Haggard a start) |
