Lon Bronson remembers the “epiphany,” even if he’s not sure of the date or exactly how many cocktails led to the revelation.
It was 1988, or maybe 1989. The site is not in question: It was Calamity Jane’s, an infamous but fondly remembered live music haunt on Boulder Highway that closed long ago. Bronson had two cocktails, maybe three, as for the first time he watched the blowout horn band Tower of Power perform live.
Bronson was seated on one of Calamity Jane’s couches — no theater seating at this venue — and feeling the band’s famed audio power when it hit him.
