LYNNWOOD — In his trombone heyday, Dan Marcus was on the road with Ray Charles for five years.

That sliver of fame in his 20s has been immortalized as public art on a utility signal box.

What’s up with that?

Marcus, 62, is on the new “Big Hair and Blue Eye Shadow” theme box spread near Alderwood mall.

He has a mop of curls, shades and a red shirt unzipped nearly to his navel.

“That was Ray’s band jacket,” he said. “If you look closely you can see his outline. That was the thing.”

Marcus and a bandmate are the only two dudes on the box with pictures of about 30 poofy dames, including Lynnwood Mayor Nicola Smith, City Councilwoman Shannon Sessions, three Debbies, two Nancys, a Cheri, Linda, Pam, RuthAnn, Barbara and other blue-eye-shadow-era girl names.
