30 years ago today was the OJ Bronco chase.

I was on tour with the Glassmen, my third season with the corps. I remember we were doing laundry that day, which is how we were near a TV and able to see the chase in real time. It was well before smart phones, so this was the only way we could see what was happening.

I’m trying to remember where we were that day. I’m assuming Wisconsin since we had a show in Oshkosh the next day, but it HAS been 30 years.

Anybody got a 94 tour schedule handy?
