Victorville, CA September 7, 1999 By Silvio J. Panta - Staff Writer
"I'm so ground in the 60's, it's painful, "Gibson said. "We're allowed to play twice a month."
While patrons milled about and played in the water, the band of musicians who cleverly call themselves Off The Record, entertained whoever passed their way. Superior Court Judge James Dorr played rhythm guitar and sang like a pro during four long sets.
Having played since he was a boy, Gibson recalled a now-defunct coffee house on the Sunset Strip in Los Agneles called "Ben Franklin's", where rock 'n' roll was a lot simpler. The judge looks up to the late great rock drummer John Bonham of Led Zeppelin, and especially drummer Jim Keltner, as sources of inspiration for his style of playing.
Dorr is credited for starting the 1 1/2 year old rock band, but Gibson would say it was really Heide and Dorr who got the ball rolling.

The Record performs original retro rock. Their music has elements of Pink
Floyd, The Rolling Stones and the '60's through '80's. Included
on their album are "20th Century Man", "Save The Children",
"Taking It All The Way", "Politics", "Water of
Love", "Ode to the Sixties" and 4 more original songs
Members at the time of recording were John
Gibson (Drums), Peter Heide (Guitar), Jim Dorr (Guitar), Bob Fowler (Keyboards)
and John Sanchez (Bass). Most of the members take turns on lead and background
vocals, and also contribute to the group with their individual original
songs.
BARSTOW - He may not be as famous as Ringo
Starr, but Superior Court Judge John Gibson showed he is just as witty
and talented a drummer as the famed ex-Beatle.
Gibson wasn't the only one who was tuned
in to the past as he and other local jurists exclusively played oldies
from the '50's and '60's during a sun-drenched Labor Day at Lake Dolores
Water Park.
Barstow Superior Court language interpreter
Peter Heide was also in the mix, playing lead guitar as well as attorney
bob Fowler, who was jamming on the keyboards. Playing bass was none other
than new band member John Sanchez, a GTE employee.
Dorr
and Gibson did most of the talking. All the band members credited their
wives for tolerating their hobby to entertain crowds.
But
the musical taste of today's youth isn't anything like Gibson's as he
found out during a past gig when a little girl asked whether Off The Record
played requests. "She asked me to play something from the Spice Girls,"
Gibson said. "Yeah, and after that I became "Old Spice",
Dorr interjected.
Regardless
of who initiated the band, the happy members of Off The Record love what
they do when they aren't working at the courthouse and showed that enthusiasm
when they played nearly every signature song of the oldies period from
Jerry Lee Lewis' "Great Balls of Fire" to the Rolling Stones
"You Can't Always Get What You Want."
