Hi Johnny, I remember the Pub well! I use to sneak in when I was younger. Back in the 70's they never carded (I.D.'ed) people.

Robert Z. Cabaddu, I don't remember his name, but that mug shot of his I remember very well! Maybe I saw him in the Pub when he was playing with the Cattail band? I use to follow the rock group "Tesla" while living in Sacramento in the early 1990's. My understanding is that they played in Guam in the late 70's and early 80's befor the group moved to Sacramento and made it big! I could be wrong though.

Hi Ric,

Yeah, I remember TESLA; a big time group for sure.

Robert Z. Cabaddu is a very close friend of mine til this very day; knew each other since we were teen agers. Yeah, he use to be the bassist & lead vocalist for CATTAIL at the Pub. Cool mug shot eh? That's Robert.

Hey Johnny, does Robert still sing and play bass? Is he still in Guam?

Damn, that's one crazy looking dude. Looks like some of the characters my sisters use to drag home.

Hey Ma, look what the cat dragged in? :)

RIC:
Robert is still on Oahu. I just set up a gig for him to play aboard the Norwegian Cruise Lines "Pride of Aloha". He had been out of music for awhile, although he worked for me as a sound engineer from 2000-2002 at Disneyland, for my group DaJamBand.

JULIET:
The Pub is the upstairs club that is attached to the Town House when it use to be on Marine Drive in Agana. The Pub faced the road that curved up the hill to Mongmong & Maite.
