Here is a great clip of The Belairs via Paul Johnson. I think this was recorded live at KRLA radio and Sam Riddle was the DJ. Eddie pays some great lead here. Hope I have the line up correct.
Eddie Bertrand - lead guitar
Paul Johnson - rhythm
Chaz Stuart -Sax
Dick Dodd - drums
Volcanic Action

RIP Eddie. You were probably my biggest influence on the way I played surf guitar.
I remember when I first got into surf music there wasn't much about Eddie out there as to what he was currently doing. I tracked down a few of the Showmen and even talked to a few on the phone but never touched base with Eddie. When Eddie came outta retirement I had stopped playing surf. One of my biggest regrets is never touching base with him.

Very sad to hear this news of Eddie's passing, even all the way over here in the land of Oz he was an influence because of the legacy of his music.
Rip it up Eddie
