The First Ever Gathering of the Santa Cruz Guitar Company Tribe

April 9th, 2008

I wrote about Tom Walzem’s great surf band, The Neptunes, back in issue 5. Apparently his musical life extends beyond twangy reverb-laden tones and includes an appreciation of mellower acoustic sounds because he’s putting together the first ever gathering of Santa Cruz Guitar Company instrument owners at Noon on April 26th, 2008. (Rumor has it that Bob Brozman, who plays an SCGC Bob Brozman Baritone,will attend.) It’s going to be in Santa Cruz at Bocci’s Cellar and if you are planning to attend you need to RSVP to Tom. You can find Tom’s contact info, along with directions to Bocci’s, here. And this YouTube clip of the Neptunes doesn’t have anything to with the Santa Cruz gathering, but it does answer the question, “What would it have sounded like if Django Reinhardt had retired to Southern California instead of Samois?”-MJS
