Australian surf music historian Stephen McParland has put 19 of his excellent books into PDF download format (see link below). Stephen's works are filled with great detail, so these books about Gary Usher, Jan & Dean, PF Sloan, the Walker Bros, and many more really are the last word in such things. Now, you can get these books in a MUCH cheaper and easier format than ordering the hard copies from Australia. Strongly recommended!!

Has anyone heard the new Ford commercial with Dick Dale's Misirlou in the background? I have and it's awesome but too bad they waited till DD passed away. Long live the King!.

Glad to hear this. I was always curious about his books but the cost & shipping from Australia always held me back. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |
