You can find me at Table Top #14 at the trade fair. Stop by and let’s talk about classic and new surf music autographs, collecting them and the feeling of just loving surf music!
This is the Third Edition of my “Sun Sand,” Surf & Sidewalls” book series. The Forward for the book was written by the Trashmen’s Dal Winslow. Special features: 170 artists/groups covered-noted
Over 490 photo, graphics autographs shown
Close to 100 pages of Surfin’ fun!
Featured Artists/Sections
I’ll have some copies of the first two editions of the book brought along.
A live recording!!!! Yup, here it is. "Susan & The SurfTones Live At Klupfel 2001" This is a board mix from a show we played on our 2001 Euro Tour in Nuremberg, Germany. No frills...just us. I played guitar (Strat), Kim13 played the organ, Brian Goodman was the drummer, and Dave Anderson played bass.
