-Brian,
I must say that I do really Miss Jon and the Nightriders.
There was a bit of a falling out that happened, but I won't spill the
bloody details j/k.
But Dave and Dusty both had very nice things to say about Jon at
the Slacktone 10th anniversary party, and said they hope in 10 more
years maybe Jon will be there and Play with them.
We can only hope, and cross our fingers.
What's also bizare about the band members is.
First time I saw J&tNR's Mike and Sam from Agent Orange sat in
on a few songs. Then Dusty Joined Agent Orange as an ocasional
player. Then Dusty left Jon to play with Dick. So Jon got Steve
the other Agent Orange drummer. Then Pete left Jon to join the
Los Straitjakets, and brief stint with the Torquays. So Sam also
joined Jon from Agent Orange. One time at a big Rendvous of older
bands,Jon & t NR's was on the bill, but Slacktone was in Europe,
So Mike palm from Agent Orange sat in for Dave. Then when Mike
Sullivan(original Bassist for Slacktone)passed away, Sam Joined the
group.Then recently Sam Joined Dick Dale after Ron left after 20 +
years. Then very recently Dusty Left Dick Dale to play with
the Super Suckers, But Sam stayed. Who know what will happen next.
Picture this, it'll never happen but.....
Dick Dale/Jon Blair/Dave Wronski/Mike Palm/Sam/Pete/Dusty
that would be a SURF SUPER GROUP if there ever was one.
A boy can dream can't he?
