Marty was one of the very first people I remember meeting from the surf scene circa 1994 when Don Murray was still very much alive and Marty caught us on video happily dancing to the Eliminators at an outside gig in Dana Point. That memory stayed in my head for years every time I would see Marty, no matter where we were. The fact that he had been there when Don was alive was just so very special to me and I would bring the memory of that day up to him from time to time and he would give me that bear hug of his. Even though Marty knew we were worlds apart (my politics being just slightly to the right of Abbie Hoffman), he always treated me with love and a kind of protectiveness that I will never forget. |

This is something I've been feeling too, because although I'd seen Marty at many shows over the years I never officially met him. For this I blame myself, because for whatever reason I tend to just hang back and say hi to whoever I already know, and for this I missed out on knowing a really great guy. Jeff, I am truly sorry for you and Marty's family's loss and like Gary said I do feel a duty now to "keep that torch lit" in honor of him by making a real effort to get to know as many of the incredibly cool people who love this music and make the scene so awesome as I can. Godspeed, Marty, may your memory live on in all of us. —Bill S._______ |

I remember the first time Baja Marty came up to me after a show several years ago and stuffed his business card into my hand and asked me if we needed help schlepping gear. Surprised, I took his card and then saw him at many surf shows after that. He was a true fan of surf music and will be missed. I donated $ to his fund on behalf of our band, The Breakaways. RIP Baja Marty. —Craig Skelly Little Kahuna |

Baja Marty's brother Mike here. Finally weighing in from Portland, Oregon. Each night this week I have been printing out this thread and taking it over to my parents. All of you have been instrumental (pun intended)in making this week more bearable for them, and for me. As some of you know, the Big C took my other brother Rod just 15 months ago, so my parents are having a tough time of this. Tonight I am taking my laptop over to show them the pics and play the videos and music for them. I knew Marty was into Surf Music but I had no idea he was immersed into it so deeply. Nor did I realize how big the scene was, how good the music is, and how wonderful the people are. The comments and anecdotes you've all made have brought him back to life for my parents and me. Jeff, you're awesome. Can't wait to meet you. Thanks for the YouTube clips and everything you've done. Regarding a memorial, my parents are very traditional, plus they don't get around too well so they just want to do a small graveside service with the family here in Portland on July 21. Jeff mentioned that maybe the Surf Music Community will do something this summer. If that happens, I'll be there and I'll bring Marty with me! He was cremated per his request and I think it would be fitting to bring some of his ashes "home" to his bros. I'm sure that after a few bent elbows we'll think of a memorable ceremony in his honor. |

I noticed Bob shared some of the Facebook threads here, but some of them don't show all the comments. I wrote this on FB, and our friend Dr. Z (not a member here) wrote a nice comment: I wrote: Dr. Z: |
