Catching A Wave radio show: Catching A Wave 06-03-24

It's almost summer but the tunes are already blazing hot this hour! Our "You're The Inspiration" segment returns with Alex Chilton and the Ramones covering Jan & Dean. Beth Riley has a solo track from Carl Wilson in her Surf's Up: Beth's Beach Boys Break. We've got a tune from an album by The Astronauts celebrating it's 60th anniversary in our Good Time segment. As always, we drop a coin in the Jammin' James Jukebox to hear our selection of the week (song by Henry Gross with Carl Wilson and Ricky Fataar on backing vocals). We kick off the hour paying tribute to Duane Eddy who passed away on April 30th and a classic from his 1st album. Plus, we've got tunes from Bloodshot Bill, Messer Chups, Magnatech, The Desolate Coast, The Whys, The Shadows, Los Dedos, Jeff Larson, God Of Surf, Kincaid & The Memetics, Cowabunghouls and Gary Usher!
