Found some Southern Cross recordings online listed under the lead singer's name. So good. Start with Red Sky Rain.
@ranti He will live on through the music he left behind. I still have their CD, ripped to MP3 and on my phone. There may even be YouTube video out there somewhere.
@kdfrawg I'm always the driver when the missus and I go out, unless we take her car, which is rare.
@literary Sorry to hear that. If it's the aspartame, Diet Pepsi is made without it now. Hope you feel better.

@ranti Found a photo of the band online from around 1998 or so. Sad story: The man in the upper right in the white shirt, Jonathan Raffetto, was the lead guitarist and one amazingly talented guy who was very down-to-earth. We lost him several years ago to suicidal depression. I was honored to know him.
@ranti They had a single self-produced CD. Bill Locey of the Los Angeles Times wrote about them here: http://articles.latimes.com/1998/jan/01/entertainment/ca-3965
@joeltimmins No, but I clearly remember losing at the county spelling bee by getting "chauffeur" wrong.1 I've never misspelled it since.
In my defense, I was 11 years old.
The best unsigned local band in the history of California, now sadly part of history. The pride of Ventura.
I'd forgotten I ever had this much tie-dye…
