Hello Bob and Linda,
you are looking great.
How´s about the ebook edition of your book?
I will never travel by plane again and so I won´t be able to get to the US or anywhere else, even the SJSF in Italy is out of reach for me now!!).
However I consider to download your new book ( you might remember that I bought your first edition nearly 30 years ago in 1988.)
Please tell me the adress where to download and buy your ebook.
I still have fond memories of meeting you in July 1987.

Hi Bob, glad you're coming. The Surf Raiders song Wave Walk'n was the first modern era surf song that caught my ear back in 1984 or so. I was randomly recording (on cassette of course!) a local college radio show and when I heard that song it really stood out. It was completely unique to anything else I was listening to at the time, and it has stuck with me over the years. Now that I'm immersed in surf music, I understand the song and all it's influences. But in 1984, my vast surf music knowledge was limited to Wipeout, DD's Hava Nagila, the Munsters theme and Agent Orange. Wave Walk'n opened a door for me that 20 years later I finally stepped through, and now I make my own surf records. Just goes to show you never know the impact of your music.
I'm glad you're coming to the convention, I really look forward to saying hello to you and Linda.

Have music & book (both HIGHLY recommended). Can't attend, but consider this a virtual hat-tip to you & Linda. Hope you have a great time.

I'd love to buy this book and sent an email a while ago to Bob but got no reply. Any clues about how and where I could buy the latest edition?

Only finding earlier editions on amazon, not the new one. Plus old copies are around 130 dollars.

Seems to have disappeared through some black hole in the web as non of those links work for me. Aargh, it's making me want it all the more. I'm on an iPhone so maybe that's the problem
