Fullerton has a rich history when it comes to music.
Where would pop music be with out Leo Fender?
It's my opinion that Marcus McMillan should be added to the list of influential Fullerton musicians.
He is the chief songwriter, lead guitarist and front man of the band Radio Project One.
I made this video today when I was hanging out with Marcus in his home studio.

next show date: every 4th Wednesday of the month

My good friend El Camino approached me recently with the idea to showcase local people making great products, art and food in organic and innovative ways. So this blog is our first collaboration of "Make Something Real".
Jenny, Nicki and Wendy are all Fullertonians doing their part to better the world. Green Slate is their collective effort to make cloth grocery bags and aprons from recycled cloth.
You can purchase your own grocery bag(s) or apron(s) at their booth every Thursday at the Fullerton Farmer's Market.
Watch this video and please make your way to Green Slate very soon.

Now that the weather has warmed, Fullerton hosts a weekly farmer's market in the park next to the Fender Guitar Museum. Lots of vendors selling really great produce, jewelry, food and art.
It happens every Thursday and its fun to people watch, eat food, drink and listen to live music.
I made this video after my visit to the market today. Here are links to some of the vendors featured in the video:
PLEASE NOTE: the awesome custom bike made by Fullerton local, Larry Van Rokel.
