e are off to a great start. Our first issue of Boogie Magazine
was opened and viewed by over 5,800 people from here in
San Diego to as far as Europe, thanks to Lacy Younger and all
our friends who helped us push it. This issue, we hope to make the same
impact, or better, with Black Market III getting ready to tour throughout the
Southwest United States and Europe.
Confucius once said, “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to
work a day in your life.” Sadly, it’s a dream of many but the reality of only a
few. Black Market III is one of the few local bands that have worked hard to
become self-sufficient and actually make a living at making music and touring.
Their feature story in this issue gives a sneak peak into their success and
hopefully will be an inspiration to all those who love to make music.
January was also introduced us to some new friends. 14 year old Anthony
Cullins, aka ‘The Fallbrook Kid’, joined us at our jam session at the El Cajon
Grand and blew us away with his electrifying guitar playing and from-theheart singing. We will be sure to follow him in the future. “As long as he
keeps his grades up,” says his dad Kenny, “you’ll be seeing a lot more of him.”
Also in this issue, we welcome our newest photographer Stephanie Pillar.
She’s been a busy lady bringing in the rock & roll side with photos and
stories. We are very pleased to have her onboard.
Thanks also go out to our friends the Moneymen Michael Head, Willy ‘Back
Door Man’ Carmody, Steve Tahmahkera, and Mark Eppler for always being
there to back us up at the jam sessions. Also thanks to our new friend Fedis
Gray who sat in on bass at The Grand. We look forward to seeing your all
of you out there, weather your playing music or hitting the dance floor, or
just coming out to support the live music scene. Don’t forget to “Boogie”
and smile for the cameras.
