Vintage street scenes from April '85 when Southern Accents came out as he and the band toured around his hometown.

First, he pulled into an apartment complex (Regency Oaks on SW 34th St), later went by Dub's, a music club he played live as a teenager.

They passed through town by a Chevron and (on the opposite side of the road) a Winn Dixie supermarket (also on 34th).

Later they toured a park called Devil's Millhopper, walking down a wooden staircase, and talked about playing at the University almost getting into a fight Don Felder saved him from, and how a drummer once beat him up for quitting his band.

They pulled off to visit a lake and talked about alligators at a job cleaning water lily's that he had briefly too.
