IvanP Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 10331 southern Michigan	Posted on Jul 11 2007 09:07 PM 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.
