Hey sorry folks, 'was busy again doing an exorcism for a friend who bought the last Celine Dion cd. Tough job. Well, poor Bill Sherrell, I can’t find any information about him...I'm desperate. Ok, our Bill's from Indianapolis, that’s why maybe ‘Rock On Baby’ sounds like a car-racer with its rippling virtuoso piano solo leading into a hot ride on the guitar fret-board.. Hu. Ok, his 45s were originally issued on the Tyme label and oh boy, aren’t they grand ! Bill Sherrell : * Rock On Baby * * Yes, No Or Maybe * * Kool Kat *

Now folks, sit down at the bar with a He Brew beer and enjoy the music ! Surf guitar guru, Mel Waldorf has brought together the seemingly unlikely pairing of traditional Jewish songs and instrumental surf guitar into a wonderfully funny and musically relevant CD entitled Meshugga Beach Party: Twenty Songs of The Chosen Surfers !
