Catching A Wave 08-28-23

 

On this Catching A Wave, we hear a snippet of a chat with legendary Sun Records drummer J.M. Van Eaton in our Green Room segment. We're talking about him playing on a rock & roll instrumental classic ("Raunchy" by Bill Justis). Beth Riley has a deep track from The Beach Boys showing off their Endless Harmony in her Surf's Up: Beth's Beach Boys Break and we'll drop a coin in the Jammin' James Jukebox to hear a bands very first single from 1977 with a slightly different lineup (The Police). There's a tune from The Challengers from an album celebrating it's 60th anniversary this year in our Good Time segment. Plus, there's some rockers from a few compilations: Otitis Media Records' Surf You Next Tuesday 3: (Mark Malibu & The Wasagas and The Whys), Cleopatra Records' Goo Goo Muck- A Tribute To The Cramps (Hillbilly Moon Explosion) and Sundazed Music's Surfin' The Great Lakes (The Trashmen). Plus, we spin tunes from Dogstar, The Creature Preachers, Atomic Drag, Systilus, Matthew Logan Vasquez, Barracudas, HOKO, Agent Octopus, Northern Tides and The Kickstands!
