This site you have created is a worldwide surf music home for many of us and is unmatched in its camaraderie and willingness to share and support. THANK YOU for all that you do for this community! — Patrick Top

SenseiErnMiller Joined: Jan 05, 2025 Posts: 1	Posted on Jan 05 2025 09:20 AM Hey all! First time here. Glad to see other like-minded people! Every so often, I go on iHert to look for surf instrumentals. Even though the first podcast was in 2007, if over 10 years of searching, it first came up on the search today. The website was on that podcast so I decided to check it out. The first podcast was AWESOME! Top

The website was on that podcast so I decided to check it out. Wow, I'm glad you found the podcast. That was just me experimenting to see if it could be done. The podcast got considerable better when Danny and Lady Reverb took over... and Warren had some great interviews. Keep going through them!

Fady Joined: Mar 07, 2010 Posts: 2271 North Carolina	Posted on Jan 06 2025 08:46 PM Great to see the spark, Brian! If you need more testing done, I’d be more than glad to re-enlist. Also, funny how the universe works sometimes. I’ve sparingly used my stickers. About 2 weeks ago, I found 2 in an unexpected place in my ‘office’. First thought, where/what might I grace with such fine art, immediately followed by ‘I wonder if Brian still has any more of these stacked away somewhere?’. Whattya know… YES!! — Fady El Mirage @ ReverbNation Top

Brian Joined: Feb 25, 2006 Posts: 19324 Des Moines, Iowa, USA	Posted on Feb 26 2025 10:33 AM This site is 19 years old today. It didn't turn into an interactive forum for a while, but still...! It's a lot quieter than it was back in its heyday. But lots of the same folks are still here! I'm still working on modernizing the site. It is going slowly, but actually faster than I expected. If you enjoy the site I'd encourage you to give a donation. I'm also considering doing more with Patreon if there is any interest. Thanks all! — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site?
