that was that! I'd say I was about 70% satisfied with it; some things worked better than others. A main problem was we started a bunch of stuff too fast and my pick & fingers technique apparently isn't up to the task!

Great night though, and the debut of Ivo and the Wave Wranglers, who are really good. Tev, the guitar player/leader has a definite balkan streak, so a lot of the original tunes are in crazy time signatures etc. If he's not on here, I'll get him to sign up.

DP, I'm sure your objections are all bassless.

You know, there is (was) actually a duo in Denver who perform topless, i.e., without a guitarist. It was garage, not surf, but with a good enough bassist I think a topless surf band might be interesting now and then. I once heard a surf band do Misirlou with a lead bass live. The bassist was late, and the rhythm guitarist was proving fairly lame as a bassist, so the lead took the bass for that song, at the end of which the actual bassist arrived looking a bit embarrassed. And there are a few novelty numbers with lead bass around.
