Its all about the Rock pt. 1

You might be able to find the following in the GO! Section of pennlive.com

Here I am again, one year later, back at the Radisson in Camp Hill. It’s Millenium time again and I can almost smell the rock in the air. Well maybe that’s not rock but that sure as shootin’ smell like something. While me and my partner in crime, Patrick, arrived an hour early to the festivities, we were treated to an set by a band that was left off the online schedule.
The CCL, which we would come to learn stood for Codorus Cruise Line, opened the night up to a pretty empty ballroom. After the run-of-the-mill sound check shenanigans, the trio was ready to rock. The lead singer told us so by taking off his shirt, international symbol for “get the heck up and bang your head.”
Though their look and feel was just a tad cliché, it all seemed to work and energize the handful of people that showed up to watch them. CCL played a set full of open road songs that are played best while blairing out of the stereo of a Trans Am while blazing a path on the highway during a mid-summer cross country extravaganza.
Just goes to show that not everything that has been done before has been done well. Sounding a bit like the flash-in-the-pan that was Buckcherry, CCL was high-energy and definitely enjoyed what they did. And that was enough to start the night off on the right foot.
