Jeff "Stretch" Riedle (ex-Submersians drummer) is going to
sell his Surf CD collection to raise money for an upcoming
surgery. As much as Jeff has done for the NorCal surf com-
munity over the years, I'd like to propose that a benefit concert
be staged to help Stretch with his medical costs. What do you
guys think?

Stretch also helped form one of the first surf bands in Northern California, The Shockwaves, in 1985. His contribution to the music scene goes back even furture with his work as a DJ at KFJC. If you wanted to find cool albums of any genre (but especially surf), at a great price, you would go see Stretch at Streetlight Records in San Jose. This is in addition to him being one of the nicest guys, genuine guys you could ever meet. If Stretch thinks it's a good idea, I'm all for it too!

Hey Bob, count the TomorrowMen in, I've dealt with Stretch in the past a bit and he's always been really cool. Of course, you may want bands with an actual draw, but if not, we're there!

Like I posted on the Mermenlist group.
if you book it I will be there.
Stretch is a great guy. He gave me very detailed directions to me to his store over a crapy payphone, at a busy intersection. I kept yellin can you say that again???!!!! When I got there. he was happy to see, me, and said I hope the directions were ok.
Bob if you need any help in putting together a show.
talk to Ferenc or Bill, or now that I did the Marty Party with
8 bands( man it was tough). ask for help if you need it.

I don't want to speak for Stretch, but before you plan a benefit concert for someone, you might actually want to ask them if they want one. Stretch posted on the Mermenlist that was not interested.
