A truly beautiful human who shared his stoke with abandon, I'm so happy to have met him. — Sound of the Surf, the movie Facebook SOTS Top
Craigthekeg Joined: Aug 10, 2010 Posts: 124 Anaheim, Calif. Disneyland.	Posted on Jun 25 2012 11:14 PM JonPaul showed up here and he, Jeff and I got misty eyed all over again. Jeff broke out the Good RUM and JP and Jeff have been doing shots all afternoon for Marty. We're all telling our favorite Marty stories and laughing at some of the pictures posted, like Sonic Chris when Marty and JP were being Manbros. Classic shots for sure. We are remembering Marty like he was here with us. Craig the Keg — Hodad makin' the scene with a six pack. Top

Very sorry for BTD and others within the surf music community who got to know him well and spend time with him. I vow to turn up my mix and dwell more in honor of Marty. Very stoked that I got to meet him... Top

CousinMary Joined: Nov 16, 2009 Posts: 1071 San Francisco Bay Area	Posted on Jun 25 2012 11:25 PM I didn't really know him but saw him one time at Suzy's the day after the 2010 SG101 Convention. It really made an impression on me how much he loved the music, I never forgot him. I add my condolences to everyone else's, especially to BTD who sure knows how to be a friend. Top

It's choking me up so much to read them, but its all because of the love. Thanks everybody. I have tons of great Marty stories.... I want to go on, but its hard. maybe tomorrow. Baja Marty: A true Brother, and the best friend ever. I will remember you forever, and miss you the rest of my days. — Jeff(bigtikidude) Last edited: Jun 26, 2012 00:49:55 Top
bigtikidude Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 25538 Anaheim(So.Cal.)U.S.A.	Posted on Jun 26 2012 12:26 AM a few more things, Marty had a Huge collection of Surf. I'd say probably 2000 cds, 300 lps, and 200 45s. I did pass him at some point, because he wasn't into some of the "out there" stuff that I was into. Anyways, he had a lot of obscure and great surf music that he loved. But he always said that Baja and Misirlou were his favorites, even though everyone played them. Baja was his Theme song, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHbcU5ArqBQ and he always said that Misirlou was the Surf National Anthem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-y3h9p_c5-M I know you've all heard them before, but for Marty, Crank it up, and put yer fist in the air. and play the 2 above songs. and if yer playing them live in a band, Crank up the Reverb and Break Off the Knob! and here is Marty after a awesome performance of John Blair, with Jeff Utterback, Matt Quilter, and Paul Johnson at the SG101 convention. Goodnight Marty. — Jeff(bigtikidude) Top

bigtikidude Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 25538 Anaheim(So.Cal.)U.S.A.	Posted on Jun 26 2012 02:28 AM Thanks Guys, Matt n Abdel, Marty thought that you guys were 2 of the best unsung guitarists in So. Cal. Keep up the great work. Below is a post by Jonpaul from this thread: http://surfguitar101.com/forums/topic/16269/?page=1 thoughts and comments about Marty for his get well party in Oct. This says it all, and best: Marty is like the quiet storm--seemingly mild-mannered at first, but with a sleeping, passionate lion inside, just waiting to leap out and attack! He's one of those truly rare individuals that makes a profound impression just by being himself. He doesn't try, he just is. His tremendous passion for what he loves is a real inspiration for everyone, and something that I personally think of quite often. Marty's kind heart, his love for family and friends, his dedication to the music he adores, and, of course, his public displays of affection (for both his bros and reverb!) are all the things that keep his spirit alive and well and will undoubtedly get him through this difficult time. We love you brutha! Here's to many, many more good times in the future! (Kneeling on the ground, head down, one hand on the reverb tank, and the other as a fist in the air) — Jeff(bigtikidude) Top
