The Super Subs in the 60's

Super Sub History

Most of the Super Subs met at Los Angeles City College in the late 60's.  Yes we are old.  We even had on wierd colthing.  We were what you call old school.  One day our guitar player Bob Wolin and Ron Knight was in the middle of our college quard and they started singing and playing.  Before you knew it we were a band.  We stayed friends for all these years and decided to put the band back together again and to play for kids.  We are all teachers at heart so we teach and play.  Bob Barboza called us all up on the phone and everyone said yes!  Yes, we want to be Super Subs.  Bob said we are going to have to teach math, computer science, language arts, job skills, and music.  It is all part of being a Super Sub.  We are just like the "Blues Brothers".  We the phone rings, we drop what we are doing.  We are Super Subs.

When you look at the photos you will see that we love what we are doing.  There is nothing like jumping up on that bandstand and backing up lead singer Ron Knight. 

On Super Sub day no one joined a gang.  No one was unkind to a Super Sub. No one got in a fight.  Teachers  got excited about teaching and kids got excited about learning.  On this day the public schools worked and no child was left behind.
