bigtikidude Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 25600 Anaheim(So.Cal.)U.S.A.	Posted on May 03 2017 09:06 PM Urgent Update regarding Paul Johnson show this weekend! With regards to the show at Alva’s Showroom on May 7th. Paul Johnson has some health issues and probably won’t be able to attend the performance. The full History of the South Bay Surf Sound will have to be postponed to another date when Paul is healthy. The show will go on with the Belairs & Eddie & The Showman tribute performances with John Blair and Matt Quilter at the helm. The Halibuts will still be performing a set for the first time in 12 years. The show will go on! Any donations to Paul and his recovery can done at the show. The show was sold out as of last week but call for reservations (310 519 1314) to be sure. Chris Ashford — Jeff(bigtikidude) Top

JONPAUL Joined: Apr 29, 2010 Posts: 2471 Venice, CA	Posted on May 04 2017 04:53 PM And just to further clarify...the show will go on no matter what! PJ likely will not be in attendance, but there will still be the highly anticipated reunion performance by The Halibuts, and an extended South Bay themed set by those in the tribute band (John Blair, Matt Quilter, Keven Brennan, Pete Curry and me). It will still be a wonderful opportunity to salute and appreciate PJ! — Insect Surfers The Tikiyaki Orchestra The Scimitars Lords Of Atlantis Fiberglass Jungle - Surf Radio Top
John Joined: Aug 23, 2007 Posts: 596 Monterey County, California	Posted on May 06 2017 11:59 AM What Jonpaul said above. This event is tomorrow and I hope those of you who planned on coming will still be there despite the unfortunate announcement that Paul Johnson may not attend due to health issues (and the possibility of rain). He MIGHT still be there; we aren't sure as of Saturday morning. Regardless, this event intends to celebrate the South Bay surf music scene of 1961-1963 with special tributes to The Belairs and Eddie & The Showmen in particular. There WILL be some special guests AND the very, very special reunion performance of The Halibuts. Downbeat at 4pm. — www.johnblair.us www.soundofthesurf.com Top

BoardwalkerJeff Joined: Jan 24, 2008 Posts: 376 Santa Monica, Ca.	Posted on May 14 2017 10:59 PM It was amazing! Such a great show and everyone was wonderful! Sorry I didn't get to catch up with everyone but I was overbooked that day and had to run right after it was over. add, I teared up many times during the guys doing Pauls stuff and especially during the Halibuts. Took me back to a really stressfull time in my life when surfing and The Halibuts brought me through (Mid 80's) . GREAT JOB! — Jeff Utterback Top

bigtikidude Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 25600 Anaheim(So.Cal.)U.S.A.	Posted on May 15 2017 11:26 AM It was a great day, only a light drizzle of rain. The place was packed. Of course we were sad that PJ was not there. But the Belairs, and Eddie and the Showman tribute was awesome. The Halibuts were great fun, and I was stoked to see all 6. As I had heard a rumor of only 4 would be there(no sax no keys) The one down side was the Farfisa organ was acting up, and could barely be heard. The Showman amp it was plugged into was on 10. It was a little strange to see the Halibuts play, and not have a room full of dancing people, but about 6 people jumped up n danced for the last Song. I saw lots of people from the 90s n early 2000s that I had not seen in a long time. I hear they want to try to do it again in the Fall so PJ can play. — Jeff(bigtikidude) Top

Lots of potentially great POTD stuff to load in the progression; really like the one with them all gathered around the kit - looks fun had by all from both sides of the stage. Edit: I just stuck a bunch of Halibuts on loop 'cause they make me smile. Fun to contrast this pic with this one — Wes SoCal ex-pat with a snow shovel DISCLAIMER: The above is opinion/suggestion only & should not be used for mission planning/navigation, tweaking of instruments, beverage selection, or wardrobe choices.
