A unique American creation that some surf historian's who have a movie on tap denote was surpassed by the arrival of "The Beatles".
I also have read that the late Surf Guitar Legend Eddie Bertrand lived down the street from Brian Wilson and was a big influence on him.
Any other surf music FR-er fans want to opine about my data whether it is spot on or not?
Check out "The Eliminators" and "Los Straightjackets" if you like the music type...
I also had the great good luck to get to the Beatles’ concert at Shea...really the first great outdoor rock concert. The girl I was dating at the time, her father was a Deputy Inspector for the NYPD, and he was coordinating security and crowd control at Shea. He got us in..we were about 100 feet from the stage, near one of the huge speaker towers, and the sound was so deafening..it took a week for my hearing to return to normal. You could literally see the air moving..
