White Levi's (which were actually sand colored) and white T-shirts with large Pendleton Wool shirts(used as jackets) were the fashion craze. A Stomp was just another term for a get together where young folks danced to rock and roll. The term stomp proably came from adults watching teens dancing to the Rock and roll, surf music. No one did the Waltz or foxtrot and such. It was a new style of dancing. Top

We were doing it at the Voo, Harmony and high school hops. It was so easy that even those suffering from White Mans syndrome, no dancing abilities,they could stroll across the floor with very few movements of the feet. Top

I think it was in Boston that the song Bits and Pieces was banned from some dancehalls due to kids stomping to the drums which was causing the wooden floors to collapse. Not surf but the DC5 were totally hip. Feel free to fact check. Facts are great- you can rearrange them to say anything. — Da Vinci Flinglestein, The quest for the Tone, the tone of the Quest The Syndicate of Surf on YouTube http://www.syndicateofsurf.com/ http://sharawaji.com/ http://surfrockradio.com/ Top
