The Tornadoes !



All hail The Tornadoes !
A bloody brilliant surf band from Redlands, California, and a real family band, their lineup consisted of two brothers (Gerald and Norman Sanders), their cousin Jesse Sanders and a friend, Leonard Delaney.
They started out as an instrumental group from San Bernardino, CA, called the Vaqueros. The Tornadoes were the first band to receive national airplay with a surf instrumental !The song was of course, "Bustin' Surfboards", released on Aertaun Records in 1962, and it has since become a classic and mainstay of the surf genre ! The album with the same name was released in 1963. And for the record, the band temporarily changed their names to The Hollywood Tornadoes, because the British band the Tornado(e)s, were charting with the song "Telstar".
Enjoy !

The Tornadoes :
* Vaquero *
* Maleguena *

It's so weird that I came here from just reading about the Brit Tornados Telstar and the engineer on that (Muir) who apparently pioneered sound-engineering.

and here's a blog I recommend with some very cool stuff about the Cool Old Music I was diggin before Zappa blew me away

Joe MEEK is what I should have said above instead of 'Muir. - there is now a bio-pic of the Joe Meek story.

THEE BLOODY END !!!

ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END. Yes my dear friends/readers, I've decided to end this very blog ! No particular reason to be frank, I've just decided to put this site to bed. So alas, another (fantastic/brilliant/extraordinary, you choose) blog goes away. Well, you all know I'm a (fantastic/brilliant/extraordinary/bad, you choose) musician and that it takes a LOT of my time, that maybe explains the sporadic nature of posting here, so here we go... its' a FAREWELL ! Well, don't be sad my friends, remember what the great Criswell said: ' We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future.' ! So, I can't really express myself on HOW MUCH this lil' internet page was important to me, and how much it was fun to make/search/create ! You can't imagine how crazy it was to make those halloween/western/
