Azusa

I think you grew up in SGV too, right?

Yeah, I grew up in San Dimas, then moved to Azusa, and now I'm here in Alhambra.

So definitely SGV all the way.

My grandma lived down the street in San Gabriel.

The body might have been one of about a hundred ash bodies that Charvel himself made under the tutelage of Dave Schecter.

These bodies stamped Charvel Azusa on are known as Azusa pattern bodies and match Frankenstein exactly.

Van Halen bought the factory second body at a discount price of $50 due to a knot in the wood in the lower cutaway.

Neck.

Yeah.

But my dad was from here in California, specifically Azusa.

People may be familiar with that, with the Azusa revivals.

Greg, who's getting clicks in region six.

I hope there were plenty of clicks for Saturday night's official return to division three for Whittier and Azusa Pacific's first division three home game.

This was Azusa Pacific's homecoming, which was a really nice touch.

I thought for a team playing their first home game in seven years, Whittier got on the board first in this game with a second quarter field goal.

But after that APU's offense started firing pretty well and And lackey wall work scored both of Azusa Pacific's first half touchdowns on quarterback runs.

APU's offensive coordinator now is Mark Speckman.

And if you go quite a ways back with division three, you'll know Speckman from his very successful run as the head coach at Willamette, where he used his fly offense to pile up tons of yards, tons of points and, He won Northwest Conference Championships.

He took Willamette to the playoffs a few times.

He voiced the sputtering, coughing, dying engine of Jack's ancient Maxwell automobile.

He was the exasperated train station announcer calling out for Anaheim, Azusa and Kuzceka Munga.

The timing on that was always perfect.

But his most brilliant work was playing the incredibly stressed, high strung retail clerks that Jack would interact with.
