May Birthdays 
As some of you know, both Friday and Saturday night of last year's SG101 Convention were professionally recorded by Mark Linett, Grammy-winning producer and engineer. Mark has worked with the likes of The Beach Boys, ELO, Brian Wilson, Eric Clapton, Los Lobos, and many others.
I've been working with Mark (with help from Ivan Pongracic and Jeff Hanson) to produce a compilation CD of the bands that played last year for release in July, just in time for this year's Convention!!
Mark has a record company involved that will release and distribute this CD (and possibly 12-inch vinyl LPs), so we're all working hard right now to make this the BEST surf music compilation of contemporary surf bands. He will produce the tracks to be included on the record and I will help create the graphics and liner notes.
Toward that end, I'd very much like to see photographs from the event that some of you took. I'm only looking for good quality (not blurry), high resolution (300 dpi or better) JPEG or TIFF images. Not interested so much in candid shots of people as much as I am of full-on stage shots of the bands who performed. Action shots!!!
If you have any photographs that you think fit the bill, I'd love to see them. If any of them are used in the final product, you'll have photo credit in the liner notes.
Please either forward them to me at my email address below, or (if you have quite a few) put them on a file sharing website such as Dropbox and send me a link.
Thanks in advance for any help!!!! This is going to be a killer CD, produced by Mark Linett, a music business giant.
