It was 'one for the books' today (Saturday - July 11th) on my Frettin' Fingers Radio Show. I dedicated much of the first hour of the show to featuring surf / instrumental bands that will be performing at our annual Surf X Surfwest 2-day festival coming up on July 24th-July 25th. My thanks to Tien Doan for hanging out with me and for all of his work promoting surf / instrumental guitar music here in the Pacific NW. We played King Pelican, The Delstroyers, The Blue Unknown, The Mercury Four, Minor Keys, The Boss Martians, The Woodhavens, The Von Dwells - and more.
