Here here, as soon as I can I'd like to add a couple of vocal
numbers in. I'll add the Daytonas to that list and the Boss
Martians. If I ever had a problem with the Boss Martians it was
that their songs were about 60 seconds too long! I'd been talking
with Evan and this guy really had a love for the vocal surf stuff,
hell, his tone reminds me a bit of Carl Wilson.
