Vintage California vibe of yesteryear, clean, real nice folks @ the office, and super duper close to the starting gate. Nabbed reservations for a return this year. Woot! Woot! — Fady El Mirage @ ReverbNation Top

Posted on May 15 2012 09:08 PM I dropped off some more flyers for the convention at the Dons Turf Motel, and they said that rooms are going very fast, So if you are wanting to stay there, and get a good deal. Do it very soon. There is a Marriott Residency Hotel across the street from the Starting Gate, And a Marriott Courtyard Hotel on the corner of Katella and Valley View which is about 2 miles East of the Starting Gate. I don't know how much these 2 places are, but I can assure you they are not the price of Dons Turf Motel. Book yer room, flights and car rental now, as the longer you wait, the rates go up. also if anyone is wanting to share rooms or rides, please use this thread or start a new one and maybe some of you can hook up and save even more money on rooms, and cars. — Jeff(bigtikidude) Top
CousinMary Joined: Nov 16, 2009 Posts: 1065 San Francisco Bay Area	Posted on May 15 2012 11:05 PM Don's Turf Motel is fine - I stayed there 2 years ago. It's clean, the staff is friendly, I felt safe being there by myself. But it's not fancy and a bit shabby, so if that bothers you, you might want to go somewhere else. We are thinking of staying closer to the beach (Huntington, Hermosa, etc.), but it can be pricey. Anyone know of a good place out there? Thanks, Coz Top

Don_Kirk Joined: May 20, 2012 Posts: 2 Medford, OR	Posted on May 20 2012 04:32 PM Although Lead Guitarist Johnny Kirkland has passed, I'm (after 50 years) still in contact with Rex DeLong and Wayne Matheson (Rumbler's members); and I was happy for the Rumbler's, when Rex told me about this event. For anyone reading this, Rex says that this will be the "ONLY" reunion performance the Rumbler's will ever do. We are all getting up there in age (65 plus); and Rex says he will be moving to Germany later this year. I went to one of their recording sessions with them; and have not heard them (Rumbler's perform together since; although I have heard Rex and Wayne perform a couple of times since. I knew Rex before he was in the Rumbler's and went to Magnolia High School (Anaheim) with Johnny Kirkland. I am doing everything I can to make this event; as it will definantly be the last time the Rumbler's are performing on stage together, ever!!!!!!!! Don Last edited: May 20, 2012 16:34:19 Top

(Ace) This thing is like a best of the best ofs, with rare, unreleased recordings and Downey, Dot AND Highland material.

Don_Kirk Joined: May 20, 2012 Posts: 2 Medford, OR	Posted on May 24 2012 01:33 PM In the early 60's I worked with Jim Fielder's (MOI & BS&T fame)Wes Charles, Gary Guidice (Bass/Piano for Dick Dale) and Wayne ??? (Mod Inc.). If anyone knows how to contact any of these people, please let me know. I think Fielder's is with Paul Anka, Dick Dale has not seen Gary in years and Wayne ??? our group broke up after we held a teen dance at the Anaheim Hyatt House (we were actually invited back afterwards the crowd was so good). Any help you can be finding these people would be appreciated. don_l_kirk@live.com Top

Tuck Joined: Sep 02, 2006 Posts: 3166 Denver, CO	Posted on May 25 2012 01:22 PM Rex says they will have a three sax lineup, for those who are into such things. Bob Jones, Dave Allen and Rex himself. They never had more than two together when active, but were able to assemble all three for this. Looking forward to it! JonPaul's post of the recent Ace release It's a Gas, reminds that "It's a Gas" (the song) is one of my favorites. I've also like "Here Comes that Bug." Sort of a quasi-vocal. Top
