So a little history real quick,
If Dick Dale is the King of Surf Guitar,
Eddie Bertrand is #2.
Kinda like Arthru Lyman,and Martin Denny are #1 for Exotica.
Eddie was Originally in the Bel Airs of "Mr. Moto" fame, (first surf song)
Then after that he formed the Amazing Eddie and the Showmen(Squad Car)
I'm Doing a Big Benefit show to raise money for Eddie Bertrand.
He's had a couple falls and broken his hips.
And he is on Hard times.
So some friends and I are puttin together
a big show of Love for Eddie.
if you can't make the show,
and want to Donate to a fund for Eddie,

This looks like fun and a great cause, I'll try to attend.
Great meeting you New Years Eve at the Bahooka (although my memory is somewhat blurry from that night for some reason, hah).
Cheers,
Rob

Ah, such a nice reply.
thanks for the kind words Deanna
and it's my pleasure, and a needed benefit show.
thanks for coming to the show.
Heads up people,
word on the street is its gonna be packed.
get there early to get a good seat.
and a parking spot.
its 20 dollars at the door,
cash only.
and there will be many raffle prizes.
so bring tons of money for raffle tix,
and
money to buy food and booze,
or just max yer credit card out.
mine already is,
Jeff(btd)
