"A rock and roll trip to the Ronderosa Rancho Motel is a straight ahead rock trip into the musical mind of Ronnie I. (Ron Iacopucci). Sincere and heartfelt words and music fill this record about love, sex, dreams and disenchantment with materialistic realities. Flavors of Springsteen, BonJovi, Mellencamp, Petty, and a rock sound that is all Ronnie's. Highlights on the CD include "The Lone Stranger", with sentiment of dreams in a memorable chorus, 'those Hollywood high hopes and tinsel town tightropes can sure make a fool out of you boy'. Another song that has much "hit" potential as well,"Good Possibilities", has a great lyric and infectious hook - 'well my mind whispers 'take it easy' my body screams, please me please me please, good possibilities'. Overall the production is solid with a spectacular 80's rock and roll sound.

Ronnie's voice is smooth when needed and a growling animal when on the prowl. Cool record and fine performances." Ronnie continues to release singles each year such as his latest well received acoustic oriented ballads, "It Wasn't That Long Ago" about how time flies watching your child grow up and a love song/ wedding ballad titled "Love Is Every Reason".
