Photo ID Help - Beach Boys Tour/Road Crew Dude from 1979-1980 ish

[HeyJude]

Okay, this is one of those back burner things I've been meaning to ask people for ages. Hopefully some longtime fan will be able to ID this guy. I'm asking about the guy in the center of this photo:



Can someone tell me who it is? I see him all over the place in photos (and even in videos like the Washington DC 1980 show), and I'm guessing I probably know his name, but I can't connect the face to whatever name in the organization.

He's clearly in a handler/road manager/tour manager sort of position, and I think his time coincides with Jerry Schilling's tenure as manager in the late 70s/early 80s.

I believe that's Jason Raphalian.

I believe that's Jason Raphalian.

Ah, that would make sense, as his name appears on the LA and KTSA liner notes it appears.

The only immediate hit on BB related stuff I could find is a FB post from Al from his wedding day in 1984, where he lists the guy on the far left as Jason Raphalian. Doesn't look exactly like him, though it's hard to tell between the low res photo and the fact that maybe the guy cut his hair and got a mustache by 1984:

He should have Kept the Mullet Alive.

Pretty sure that looks like the same guy, minus mullet, to my eyes.
