In the tradition of the great surf music of the 1950's and 1960's comes Johnny "surf" guitar.
A lineup of songs performed by John Reynolds on cd for the first time.
The style of the music is to capture that long ago sound of "Dick Dale" ,The Ventures,The chantays and so on.
It comes from the memories of the mid sixties when John was a young [very young]struggling guitarist,[9 years old] and his ear caught the local rock band playing out of a garage in Klamath Falls oregon.
"It was like having Dino desi and Billy right down the street!"The fender guitars,Vox amps and plenty of reverb!
As he grew up he bought album after album of "The ventures" and wore out his record player.
It is the magical sound that the bands created back then that influences him to this day.
Hope you enjoy the songs and "Happy surfing!"
