I've had as many as three of my brothers in the Planktones at one time but I've
rarely collaborated in the songwriting with them. I've contributed parts to a
couple of their tunes at their request. I haven't let down my ego enough to
allow them to contribute to mine. My youngest brother is often on me to let him
fiddle with my song ideas...nope! I keep thinking of how Tom Forgerty's younger
brother John ended up stealing the show in CCR. But then again, they made some
big money!

Subject: [SurfGuitar101] Re: Writing songs, the approach...
In the Surfites, me and my brother don't write any songs together. On
the eventual debut album, we will have 7 originals each. The one of
us who have written the tune will play the lead and the other one the
rhythm guitar. In my former band, the Daytonas, we had 4 out of 5
members writing individual songs!
