Paula,
I have not seen Mojo (and Skid) perform as many times as you have, but I'm
pretty sure I've seen him play ~ 25 times total - mostly when he came up
toward L.A. and Orange County. I believe I've seen The Beat Farmers play ~
40 times. Those days (circa early/mid-80s) were a long time ago, but I will
never forget them.
I for one, would love to see some of your photos. If you do post them
somewhere, please let me/us know where.
Occasionally, I am able to tune into KGB from where I live in Orange County.
When I do, it's great to hear Mojo's voice. It's also kind of sad though
because of what they make him play. Once when The Eagles were in concert in
San Diego, poor Mojo was forced to play a goddamn super-set of the
Eee-gulls. It was just darn painful to have to listen to Mojo pretend he was
interested in the Ee-gulls.
It would be great if Mojo got his own show on KGB. Even if it were just for
2hrs/week, but he could play what ever he wanted.

<<Five, is that all? I used to see Mojo play that many times a month! OK,
maybe I'm bragging, but I'm a San Diegan who was there in the day and saw
pretty much every gig that Mojo and the Beat Farmers did for a few years. I
have many , MANY wonderful (possibly incriminating, certaily entertaining)
pictures (XH & I were photographers) from places like Bodie's, Bacchanal,
SVI, Belly Up, Spirit Club, Street Scene, Backdoor and pretty much any of
the So Cal venues from that time. I guess I ought to post them somewhere,
for others to enjoy, too.
Nice thing, though - I get to listen to his radio show each and every day,
on my way home from work. Mojo is a force of Nature and a blessing upon the
lives of each and every one of us who has been priviledged to hear his
Truth.
