> Thanks Will! Always appreciate your enthusiasm and support! but frankly, I want to do something new, not live in my past. Boss Fink is going over really well and I'm stoked by the awesome response we've gotten. Big things are brewing in 2016 for Boss Fink.

I'm having too much fun with it to focus on anything else!

I sure hope Norm doesn't think would prefer that he should reform and 'get back' with the Ghastlies, heaven forbid! "Let the dead bury their dead" would be an appropriate aphorism of the Master here, esp. given the thematic content.

My big hope is that young American musicians, and thus audiences, will pour into the fold created over the past 50-odd years to build a viable alternative to the mainstream in Surf/Instro, and keep the creativity and enthusiasm flowing. In Europe, it appears this has already happened. I guess my hope is that American culture, which obviously gave birth to these forms and inspired them abroad, will continue to be fruitful in a similar way. I don't feel Jazz captures that social aspect of music with its high-flown professionalism and ruminative self-absorbtion. It's gone the way of a classical art form by now and isn't coming back.
Surf/Instro, if it keeps alive that scrappy, even trashy edge of lowbrow culture, may still function as a vehicle expressing the liveliness of regular (maybe it can be said, working class) folk.
I salute Norm and other proponents of the thrashy in-your-face edge of surf/instro for their commitment to that aesthetic. Rock on!
