ever since I started listening to Phil Dirt, I’ve wanted to be in a surf band. My drummer friend, Danny, told me about someone he started playing with, a guy that lives in my neighborhood. How cool is that? It’s a very attractive arrangement in that a) it’s close to home; b) it’s easier to organize 3 players than it is 12; c) the guys are very laid back; d) the songs are fun. I know there are more reasons to enjoy this, I’ll scribble them down here as time goes by.
For now, we’re covering some classics by the Ventures and the Challengers. But the guitarist, Gene, has a penchant for playing jazz, we’re going to fool around with some Paquito d’Rivera soon.
Now, for a name…. hmm??
