Last week, I mentioned a handful of KFJC personalities that celebrated their birthdays Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Somehow, I neglected to mention a KFJC personality that had their birthday last Friday.
Tommy Predovich, aka “Tommy Toonz” had his day on Friday. Last year, as some of you may remember, I identified Tommy as one half of “York & Toonz,” the recording artists responsible for the track known as “Mystery LOUIE #445.”
Tommy participated at the infamous KFJC MAXIMUM LOUIE LOUIE marathon. In fact, he was responsible for picking up Richard Berry and his daughter Christy at the train station.
For HIS birthday, he sent me a video of the band that performed at his store (Vinyl Solution, San Mateo, CA) on Record Store Day – April 17, 2010. Because I want to continue to celebrate Tommy’s birthday a little longer, as well as the concept of “Record Store Day,” I’m declaring this video “LOUIE of the Day.”
Ladies and gentlemen, meet Over the Hill, a band from Half Moon Bay, California.
Before I forget, here’s a clip of Tommy with the Hoodoo Gurus that I shot behind the record store with Tommy’s old Cadillac. Tommy’s got the snazzy bowtie!
