Anyone remember the 60s surf band the Impacts or the psychedelic band MU? Well guitarist Merrill Fankhauser is still around and playing regular gigs at Fins (25 west Grand Ave, Grover Beach, near the North entrance to the Oceano Dunes State Beach) and the Back Door Deli (960 Grand Ave, Grover Beach). BDD is a great Hawaiian restaurant (Kalua Pork, Fried Spam, sticky rice etc.). He plays with his wife Yoriko Hongo- The Asian Hula Girl (she gives hula lessons locally) and they have a music TV show on cable called "Tiki Lounge". Has anyone seen this show? Octane? Airs in Maui too. Not sure how good the whole set is as Mrs. Fury heard a bit of them while dining at BDD on Friday. Unfortunately what she heard was muzak versions of Under The Boardwalk and some Beach Boys stuff........
