I'm Link Wray's daughter and I would like to Thank all of Daddy's fans in Portland,OR. This means alot to me, my brothers and sisters.

Please let Jon Koonce, Harley James, Ian Miller, Matt Planck, Jon Wallace, and Kyle Alaniz know how much this means to us and that my Father would be very proud. I'm sure he will be watching over Portland, OR on May 4th. Just in case you didn't know, his birthday is May 2nd.

Again THANK YOU ALL!

Wow...thanks very much for posting mybeth! Your dad had a huge influence on the surf guitarists of the 60's and most surf fans (like me) dig the hell out of what he did. We love Link!

I am Link Wray's Grandson, Chris Webb (mybeth's son). I'm very happy to hear about Duff's Garage is holding a Tribute in my Grandfather's Honor. I played with Grandaddy's Wrayman for the last two years. This past January we played at the Birchmere,VA and last January we played in Maryland and the Govenor of Maryland declared January 15th, Link Wray Day. Go to www.wraysshack3tracks.com.

I wish that I had known of this ahead of time. I would have been there. I'm a Bass Player but I do play the Guitar when I'm doing my Grandfather's music as well. If you decide to have it next year please let me know.

Again, Thank You Duff's Garage!

Featuring Jon Koonce ...

No relation, but a bit of a shock, none the less.
