Posted on Feb 19 2007 08:33 PM Jeff "Stretch" Riedle (ex-Submersians drummer) is going to sell his Surf CD collection to raise money for an upcoming surgery. As much as Jeff has done for the NorCal surf com- munity over the years, I'd like to propose that a benefit concert be staged to help Stretch with his medical costs. What do you guys think?

His contribution to the music scene goes back even furture with his work as a DJ at KFJC. If you wanted to find cool albums of any genre (but especially surf), at a great price, you would go see Stretch at Streetlight Records in San Jose. This is in addition to him being one of the nicest guys, genuine guys you could ever meet. If Stretch thinks it's a good idea, I'm all for it too! Top

Of course, you may want bands with an actual draw, but if not, we're there! — Danny Snyder "With great reverb comes great responsibility" - Uncle Leo I am now playing trumpet with Prince Buster tribute band 'Balzac' Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF Top

He gave me very detailed directions to me to his store over a crapy payphone, at a busy intersection. I kept yellin can you say that again???!!!! When I got there. he was happy to see, me, and said I hope the directions were ok. Bob if you need any help in putting together a show. talk to Ferenc or Bill, or now that I did the Marty Party with 8 bands( man it was tough). ask for help if you need it.

Stretch posted on the Mermenlist that was not interested. --ferenc — Buy Endless Drummer @ Bandcamp Frankie and the Pool Boys website Buy Speed of Dark @ Bandcamp Pollo Del Mar website My Blog- Euro Tour Blog Pool Boys on Spotify INSTAGRAM Frankie & The Pool Boys on Facebook Pollo Del Mar on Facebook DJ Frankie Pool Boy on North Sea Surf Radio Top
