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.
