Welcome to the new SurfGuitar101.com! This format was launched on February 25, 2006.
This site combines my love for all things computer geekery and my other passion: instrumental surf music. I hope this site is useful for both surf fans and musicians, as it offers the following:
Users can submit news, show announcements, show reports, reviews, etc. These stories can then be ranked and commented on by others. These stories are then archived on this site.
Web based forum area to discuss all things related to surf music.
A database of useful links.
Surf music FAQ's.
Photos of surf bands in action.
An event calendar so people can quickly see what shows are coming up.
Just to keep you informed. The first proposal has be sent to the Venue in Southern California, regarding performances by The Trashmen, and The Chantays. I can only speak for these groups-----All of us on the Management Team are hoping for the Best. (Lorenzo,Melanie,Eddie, and myself are really working to make this work.) as soon as we know anything---we will let all of you know through this Web-Site. I spoke to both Dal Winslow, of The Trashmen, and Bob Spickard of The Chantays yesterday. Both guys are hoping this Gig can take place. And they are very excited on the possibility of working this.
The Date were are working on---is Sept. 03,2008.
