< BACK TO TRENTON MAKES MUSIC


AND

WELCOME
HOME
LON!

Since he was going to be on the East Coast for a week due to a business trip to the United Nations in New York City, Trenton native Lon Van Eaton accepted an invitation from Randy Now to be a guest on Randy's Capital Garage Radio Show and talk about his history in music. He also brought along a few friends who, like him, were essentially the "First Generation" of the Trenton Rock & Roll music scene that came to life in the mid 60's. This group of very talented, musicians, singers, songwriters, performers and producers all got their start here in Trenton and went on to make records that are recognized world-wide and have performed on stages internationally.

Thank you to host Randy Now, Lon Van Eaton and friends, Mary Muehleisen, Duke Williams,T.J. Tindall, Tim Case, Steve Scheier (aka Earl Scooter), Bob Heil, Jody Giambelluca and Curtis Webster for a great show and filling us in with the history of Trenton Rock & Roll through their eyes.
