Hey Signal, welcome to SG101! I'm in the same age/music category, born in the 50's, started playing in the mid 60's. That's a great selection of instruments you had. Looking forward to the pics of your current collection. Tell us about your surf music interests.

Guitar-driven, straightforward...tones are clean. Just reverb. No guitar effects overkill, no sonic clutter.

Howdy! I'm Johnny and I'm new here.

I've been playing in original bands for decades, but my new project The Deathly Quiet is the first time I'm diving full-on into the instrumental surf thing (before this I did manage to sneak a few surf-inspired riffs into songs).

I've been stockpiling demos for a while waiting for "just the right time" to start a surf band. Growing up, my dad always gave me two pieces of musical advice: "Learn to play Walk Don't Run" and "You should have a saxophone in your band". As a hair metal loving teen, I ignored my father at the time, but it turns out he was right (I learned to play Walk Don't Run a long time ago, but I still haven't made good on the sax thing). Well, he turned 80 this year, so I recorded a version of Walk Don't Run for him. That got the wheels turning in my head that there will never be a "perfect" time (especially as I grow older myself). Then I got a great new guitar for my birthday. I immediately started recording songs. Then realized it was almost Christmas, so I pivoted and recorded a Christmas song I had demoed up a few years ago. Then wrote a few more. So my first "surf" release is a holiday EP. Again, not trying to overthink it at this point. Just having some fun.

I also love tinkering with guitars. Setups, mods, etc. I've built a body before, with a couple more ready for paint when the weather warms up. Working my way up to making a neck.

Thanks for having me here!
