You know, I think I may have actually seen it - or may even have it on
tape! I have to check. The problem of course is that the touring
Hondells (which appear in the movie) were a much different band than the
recording Hondells. Richie Podolor, Hal Blaine, etc. - how do you
substite for these guys?? But they do have the clean-cut, frat look, so
well emulated by many modern surf bands - probably by the old Boss
Martians the best. And, of course, great looking guitars!

Yep. The second Hondells album instros were all his, and they're
great. I even thought that Podolor was playing on some of them, but now
know that not to be the case. Still, the quality was that high.

My bad. I was thinking of the third Superstocks album, not the
Hondells. There is no third Hondells album. Sorry.
