The year is 1980. In the photo that remains, Ron DeSaram can be seen bent
over his guitar, massive hair flying in unruly waves against the night sky,
anger written across his face in defiant happiness. He looks like he’s wearing
all-white, but no way to be sure in this black & white action shot.
“That’s the night they shut the power down on us,” explains Ron, 37 years
later, “July Fourth celebration in Lake Worth, Florida. Noise ordinance. Every
time they’d tell us to turn the volume down, we’d turn it up.”

His wife, Nancy DeSaram, adds: “They turned off the power, started up the
fireworks and then the palm tree next to the stage caught fire.”
