Her custom Jag is no longer in her possession. Also, the only recording she made was of a tune written for her by Mel Taylor of The Ventures. It was never released commercially and exists only as an acetate demo. She is backed by members of Eddie/Showmen on the demo. Wow, I didn't even know she is still alive. I'd love to hear that acetate! — http://thewaterboarders.bandcamp.com/ Top

Whoever comes can buy it here. YOU CAN RESERVE THE BOOK. Carrying these books is not easy. So IF WE KNOW IN ADVANCE who wants it we can arrange more easily what to do...

John Joined: Aug 23, 2007 Posts: 595 Monterey County, California	Posted on Mar 23 2015 02:28 PM Here's another image from the new book, "Southern California Surf Music, 1960-1966," to be published in two weeks, on April 6. This is the site of the Rinky Dink Ice Cream Parlor at the corner of Main St. and Balboa Blvd. (photo taken in 1975). It was here in 1959 that Dick Dale brought his music to the Balboa peninsula. It wasn't surf music yet. An electrical fire destroyed the interior of the Rinky Dink in the fall of 1960 after Dick had moved his band to the Rendezvous Ballroom, only two blocks away. The Rinky Dink became an Orange Julius franchise for many years. The building still stands but is now a restaurant. — www.johnblair.us www.soundofthesurf.com Last edited: Mar 23, 2015 14:40:08 Top
