"'There was this group of kids, three of them~~, up ~~on a stage that had four or five different kinds of instruments~~ and ~~they could not play a note,"~~ he ~~remembered.

He had an imagination, and he had a show-business nose. He came along and saw us playing one night in a battle of the bands. KNUZ had a battle of the bands we were invited to play. We played one night in Gulfgate Mall, and he came to that looking for a parakeet and found us and asked us to make a record.</blockquote>[[Steve Cunningham]]<ref name=":0">God Bless The Red Krayola 2011 reissue booklet</ref><blockquote>[<nowiki/>[[Lelan Rogers]]] was at Gulfgate Mall shopping for a new parakeet for his wife. We were on a bandstand in the "Santa Claus" area of he mall, playing in a battle of the bands event sponsored by a radio station KNUZ-FM. Lelan stopped and listened to us, then came up and introduced himself. Gave us his card and said he'd like to meet and discuss a recording contract with us.</blockquote>Paul Drummond<ref name=":0" /><blockquote>That night the band struggled through the obligatory Hey Joe cover but soon gave up and invited various friends from the audience to join them on stage and play spoons, honk horns and turn the performance into an improvised happening. Eventually someone pulled the plug...Whether they won or lost is now forgotten but nonetheless they were offered a prized record deal.</blockquote>		[[Steve Cunningham]]<ref name=":0">God Bless The Red Krayola 2011 reissue booklet</ref><blockquote>[Lelan Rogers] was at Gulfgate Mall shopping for a new parakeet for his wife.
