Scissors For Lefty [Peter Krimmel] pop quiz

Happy Halloween!  October has been Scissors For Lefty Month at popolio pop quiz and it’s not over just yet.  If you don’t know by now, they’re a band out of San Francisco made up of members from two families.

We featured each of the SFL guys individually on a weekly basis and have one more to go.  Last, but certainly not least, we have the second half of the second set of brothers that are part of SFL.  Peter is the the piano player of the bunch.  Hope you are entertained and that you have enjoyed the series as a whole.

Scissors For Lefty [Robby Garza] pop quiz

October is Scissors For Lefty Month at popolio pop quiz.  They’re a little known band out of San Francisco made up of members from two families.

If you haven’t heard of them, they played San Francisco Gay Pride in June 2007.

We’re featuring each of the SFL guys individually on a weekly basis. This week Bryan’s and Steve’s uncle, Robby, is up.  He’s the guitar player for the band.  He’s a man of fewer words than his nephews, but is just as interesting.  We like variety.  Enjoy.
