How about Jan and Dean? They had a few hits.

Ive got a tape of The Rolling Stones Ive had for years that I only played once. When I first heard them I didnt care for them much, but I played the tape the other day and found they arent too bad. I guess tastes change over the years.

They did hot rod and surf music, kind of like The Beach Boys, but I think Jan And Dean were better. One strange thing about them is that they did one called Dead Mans Curve and shortly after one of them, I dont remember which one, was crippled up in a car wreck. He had massive brain damage and I dont think ever recovered.

Im not familiar with that one. Sounds stupid. Some of their biggest hits were Deadman's Curve, Little Old Lady From Pasadena, Surf City and I dont remember the rest. Its been years since I heard them.

Little old lady from Pasadena rings a bell...

I barely remember it little old lady from Pasadena drives a souped-up 409 or something like that. When my dad sold cars, he would tell a prospective customer this car was owned by a little old lady who only drove it on Sundays. To and from the drag races.

Ive been listening to The Surfaris, they were another surf music group. They were pretty good instrumentalists. The drummer sounds like he is in fast forward.

Listening to " Little Darlin " The Diamonds, remember them ?

Wow, that was one of my favorites.

Right now Im listening to Larry Williams. Remember Bony Moronie?

Here's another one I bet you'll like, Dream Lover, Bobby Darin, can't recall " Bony Moronie " going to google now to check it out and refresh my memory...

I remember Bobby Darrin. Splish Splash, Beyond The Sea. He was a pretty fair actor, too.

Bony Morinie was a classic. Little Richard did a version of it too.

And we cant forget Bill Haley And The Comets either. Some say he originated rock+roll. Its possible. But some also say it was originated by Louis Jordan with his version of Caldonia.

Louis Jordan ? the French actor who starred in Gigi ?

Just heard Bony Moronie, now I remember, GREAT to dance to, remember " The Lindy ? ", before that I think it was called The Jitterbug...

No, Louis Jordan was a sax player who played in different bands and started his own band in the late 40's. He did R+B and some of his stuff some say was the first rock+roll.

Ive heard The Lindy. I believe it was before the jitterbug, it was named after Charles Lindberg and came out after his flight to Paris.
