This was the "Rockin' & Surfin' Show" long before the Midwest Surf Guy came along. We took them out to eat afterwards and they made us members of the Southern Surf Syndicate (S3). I still carry my card (#121). Robert and I caught the Surfari in Atlanta. Great group of guys, superb representatives of the "second wave."

I saw them play several times and it was always top notch. I heard him holler through the microphone and it was quite entertaining! I also have several tapes of them playing. I even have an old one with Rip playing in the WAIF studio (about the size of a closet). Its really cool! Thanks for posting this song! Can I use it on the Rockin' & Surfin' Show this Saturday? I am praying for Spanky & his family for peace and comfort. Thanks Guy Sean,

Spanky was a tremendous personality and musician. I wish I could've known him personally. As the song says only the good. The surf music world has lost another great one.
