I heard the same thing..my wife and I met Andy and his wife on the first Surf
Coasters tour, they let us crash at their place...we stayed up a looooooong time
talking about surf music and about Andy's 51 Ford custom, but it was eminent
that the baby would slow things down with the band. I hope they do become active
again, as I really liked what they played on that gig in Sacramento (and this
was after the Surf Coasters and with a borrowed bass player, and their own
playing rythm guitar....)
