Jim Reese of the Bobby Fuller Four played some nice surf with a 335 on the live BFF recordings. The story is Bobby was always trying to get him to play a Fender but he wouldn't part with his Gibson. — The Thunderchiefs Top

Once Jim Reese's 345 was stolen and Bobby was pretty excited that Jim had to use a Strat for a night or two. — "as he stepped into the stealthy night air... little did he know the fire escape was not there" https://www.facebook.com/reluctantaquanauts/ https://www.facebook.com/TheDragstripVipers/ Top

The rebel in me wanted* to say "NO! We're THE SURFONICS and we DON'T TURN DOWN!" Listening to my sensible side, I turned down and blamed the drummer. Top

I've often wondered how surf music would go over in that type of venue. A lot of people said it was a pleasant change from the blues standards that are done to death at blues jams . Top

I've mentioned it here before, but blues has enjoyed a long period of popularity at the club level and I think there are many in that audience that are ready for more melodic/positive/powerful music. Oh yes, the 4th wave is coming. — Don Top
