SURF INSTRUMENTALS
It’s a cold, but sunny, Saturday morning and everyone’s gone for a surf. All the neighbours, both locals and international tourists, are surfers. Even the 74 year old lady in the house next door has thrown her board in the back of her van and gone to check out the waves. I’ll stay behind and surf the net.

70’S PUNK ROCK
By the mid 70’s I had enough of heavy rock and prog rock and hung up my guitar. A few years later, I heard these guys and they blew my mind. They came out in 1974 – the same month as the Ramones and a year before Sex Pistols – and they set my mind on fire. I grabbed my bass and went looking for a punk band to join.
