Scratch is coming along fine. I'm working on both the rythym and
the lead. I like doing both, it helps me figure out why the lead
plays where it does. Sometimes I think the rythym players really
drive these surf classics. I really enjoy playing rythym! I think
Rob Edwards and John Anderson are some of the unsung heros of the
first wave. I love the driving rythym, and I think its one of the
tougher parts to play right. lead guitar gets the glory, rythym
gets no respect!
I cheated and watched Eddie play it on the 86 Reunion show
tape. I usually play the AV jag, but lately i've been playing a
Reissue Strat because it was getting neglected.
So, did this Jim play with any bands back then? Does he stay in
touch with any other first wave surf guys?

I didn't badger the guy about any details other than " that must
have been cool" so who knows how long he played with 'em. His
Showman sure was cool looking though, all original, blonde with
oxblood, beautiful !
Do the Reluctant Aquanauts have a disc ready for sale? Can I
purchase one?
