John Joined: Aug 23, 2007 Posts: 593 Monterey County, California	Posted on Mar 06 2024 12:35 AM Thanks, but just to be clear, "King of The Surf Guitar" is completely Stephen McParland's work. All 500+ pages! I do have a couple of new projects coming, which I hope to announce soon. Never a dull moment... — www.johnblair.us www.soundofthesurf.com Top

I read about 75 pages of his Australian surf book and burnt out, mostly because it was such slow going looking up the songs he was mentioning. Not to mention I never printed it out and I'm not in the habit of reading books on my laptop. You'd think several 500 page books might mean he's a wordy dude, but no, the stuff that I read was mostly facts and plenty of visual aid. — Storm Surge of Reverb: Surf & Instro Radio Top
