RE: JOHNNY LLOYD ROLLINS

A music-loving FBvian has seen Rollins and reports:

My son and I saw him open for Salim Nourallah at Bend Studio a couple of weeks ago. He is really fantastic, poised for the big time. He reminds you of a pre-jumbo chicken Elvis. Voice as smooth as butter, very well-written songs. You could see him walking into Sun Records in the ’50s, guitar over his back like a weapon. He was backed by Joey McClellan of the Valentines and Eric Swanson was on bass. BTW, Bend is a great place for live music.
