Oh, I just found a September 2013 email conversation I had with Tom Wheeler. He asked me about the famous surfer with a Jaguar ad. I pointed him at this thread, which probably led him to Randy Nauert. I didn't remember this at all as it was just 2 short emails. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

That makes sense. There were a few outtakes of that Fender surfer photo session included in the book, in the chapter on Bob Perine's ad campaign. It was really interesting to see how big of a fan of the company Perine really was. This was not just a job for him - he was also an accomplished jazz guitarist, and he deeply loved Fender guitars (in particular Jazzmasters) and amps. This passage by Ned Jacoby, his business partner, was really sad: But CBS spelled the end of it for us. Bob contined to work with Fender for a while, but it played out just as we feared. The new, inept CBS regime destroyed what would have been a great thing for Bob and for Fender as well. Bob was a tremendously hard worker and had put a lot of himself into the Fender account. Its loss took a terrible toll on him. He had been so happy with that account and had put his whole life into it. —Ivan |

I've been reading Bob Katz's book.
Some of it is certainly over my head, but there is a lot of good info. If I never master, at least I can have a conversation with a mastering engineer, and have an inkling about some of the process. Rev —Canadian Surf http://www.urbansurfkings.com/ Last edited: Apr 21, 2015 12:58:10 |

Excellent. I can't recommend it and the second in the series, The Wise Man's Fear, highly enough. Our whole family is awaiting book three with great anticipation. Fantastic storytelling! Ruhar wrote: — Rick |

I just got my copy a few days ago and all I can say is wow! It's everything Ivan said and jam-packed with info, pics, and cool stuff. I got it on Amazon for 25 bucks and at that price it's a steal. Along with John Blair's book, I'd say this is another "must-have" for any Fender fan. —Bill S._______ |
