Route 66 Rendezvous with Dick Dale

Two weeks ago tomorrow, I saw Dick Dale at the Route 66 Rendezvous in San Bernardino. The music was great, but there should have been more music and less commentary. Peppermint Man-Dick Dale & his Del-Tones flipped with Surf Beat

more Light and Bush

I had questions about getting The Light CD.
Both the Light UTCD-2205 and The Bush UTCD-2204 are on the same small independent label, UT Records.. The address on the CDs is UT Records PO Box 4121 La Mesa, Ca. 91944
Pictured below are the backs of the CDs.
You might be able to get info from the website www.ugly-things.com which is a magazine that promotes garage bands in the Inland Empire.
Good luck!
Now only if they come out with Torquays, Good Feelins, Caretakers CDs.

Something a little different...George Strait

My favorite music is rock and roll, but back in the late 1970s, I did listen to country music. What stuck with me is that I really like the music of George Strait. He is the only country artist I still buy new CDs. Here are a bunch of his albums on cassette.

The Bush The Light.....Record Show

There wasn't a swap meet this last weekend at the Orange Show grounds, but there was a Record Show in Claremont. CA. I went to on Sunday. Lot of expensive stuff, some cheap stuff (bought a lot of 45s for 10 cents each!)I bought two garage band CDs.
The Bush which includes local hits Who Killed The Ice Cream Man?/Feeling Sad and Lonely/Don't You Fret, Some live cuts and demos. 27 songs plus a bonus.
The Light had one single on A&M with Back Up/Music Box with a similar CD with 25 songs.
I'm very happy with both.

Buttons of The Beatles

Anyone own any Beatle buttons? I have a couple. The first is a double picture, depending on the angle you look at it. The scan shows a portion of each picture. I've only had this for a couple years, but it appears to be an original. The other with the same picture from the "I Want To Hold Your Hand" picture sleeve, I've had over 40 years.

Swap Meet CD & DVD

Only CDs and DVDs this week at the Swp Meet. Haven't listened to the C & N, but I like both of the singers. The disc is from 2004.
For a buck had to get a double feature of William Shatner. The first movie is from 1973, but the second is from 1965, maybe the last thing he did before Star Trek. That's just a guess, anyone know the facts? On the box, it stes the second feature is in black & white. Do I dare open it and watch?

RIKKI RUSH

In the early 80's I used to sell records at the swap meet (Orange Show) on a regular basis, and a person who bought records from me was Tony Felicetta. He is a musician and released a couple of records (maybe more). The first was as Rikki Rush, and later as part of the group Big Shots.
Rock & Roll of the early 80s.
I did not realize until a few years later that he was the nephew of a good friend of mine, Peter Felicetta. (You think the last name would have given me a clue)
Tony is now working with the Beatles tribute band "The Fab Four"
