From a link flatwound01 posted about DD's cabinets, that same website has the photos and article from the August 30, 1963 issue of Life. http://www.tunefan.com/lifemag.htm Hard to believe one could actually make big bucks from this music, huh? —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea Last edited: Sep 07, 2006 12:31:31 |

D.D. had to be the most dynamic performer around in 1963. He is (even now) a very charismatic performer/ the ladies love him. I can't imagine what it was like when he was "young and thin" ( his words). I'll bet he's the kind of guy people would follow around just to be near him. Awesome link Brian - I've always wanted to read the article. Chris —"You can't tell where you're going if you don't know where you've been" |

I meant what I wrote since he's definitely no longer the coolest guy on the planet. On the other hand, I don't think there are that many cool guys around at all these days. — |

I wonder when he stopped listening to his own advice about "You must learn humility" |

Ha, I guess he's also changed his stance on the short pants and capris rule. Lord knows when I'm on stage the sight of all those bare female ankles just gets me whipped into a frenzy. |

Thanks to all the surf bands, past and present. And thanks to all the fans who care about and keep surf music alive.
I love him, but there are very few who can truly pull off the "Imperial We" when talking.
