Johny Barbata Quotations

That's where my roots were San Luis Obispo.

Our friends couldn't believe that we were in high school and had a hit.

We were playing Johnny Rivers' song 'Memphis,' when halfway through the song, the lights went out. I just kept playing. The producer came up to me and said, 'whatever you do, don't stop playing.' There would have been a riot or something with 150,000 people and it was hot, the Fourth of July.

I remember one time, spinning the dial, I heard it three times on three different stations at the same time. That was a good sign.
