‘Tryin’ to find the sun’ on the Friday drive-time tune
Joe Campbell, a pal of mine in Glenvar who moved here in 2006, owned an audio shop called Resistance Repair in Berkeley many years ago. One day a musician from the next town over walked in, desperate. “My amp has blown and we have our biggest gig ever coming up this weekend,” the guy said. “Can you fix it?” Joe said, “I don’t know. I’ll take a look.” The guy said, “I can’t pay you now — I’ve got no money.” And Joe shrugged and said “If I can fix it, you can pay me later.” Joe was able to repair it in time for the big gig. The musician was John Fogerty, and the band was Creedence Clearwater Revival. Who knows what would have happened if Joe hadn’t performed that emergency repair? They’ve been friends ever since. Now here’s what I want to know: When is John Fogerty going to play Floydfest? Because I would pay to see that.



Oh yeah, me too! Those songs never get old! Great story. Fogerty is well known for his loyalty to products and people he likes.
Great story!
Cool story! John Fogerty at FloydFest would be awesome.
Didn’t Fogerty have some kind of copyright issues for several years. I heard all of that got resolved in his favor?
