Eddie, welcome! I've been listening to the AVI collection of Eddie & the Showmen every day for the last week, inspired by your recent performances. It struck me yesterday that your band was probably the most non-cliched, creative and diverse surf band from the sixties California scene. Great variety of songs, with sounds ranging from absolutely raging to gentle and sensitive, all done with immense taste and wonderful musicianship. It is simply amazing. It finally dawned on me that you have greatly influenced my own songwriting and playing, in the sense of inspiring me to not just follow surf cliches. Thank you. I'm very glad that you are here with us. I hope you will like it. Ivan —Ivan |

I second that. Such talent at such an early age is both inspiring and humbling. Rest assured that recognition of your talent and contribution to this genre is alive and well at SG101.

For those that have not met Eddie, not only is he a fantastic musician, he is a really warm & nice person as well as being very interesting to talk to. A true gentleman in every respect. Eddie is lucky we are not neighbors. I'd be knocking on his door, my guitar in hand, daily. |

Hi Tom.....Forgive me, but that was a day I would like to forget (laughing) was not the most rehearsed band I have ever played in. But it WAS an experience. I do remember you guys by the way. Eddie Last edited: Jan 02, 2008 20:33:39 |
