SURFING MUSEUM "SIZZLES" WITH SUMMER CONCERT

By Chris MacDonald

Huntington Beach, Calif.―The recent Surfin Sunday Concert at the Huntington Beach International Surfing Museum featured guest guitarist Eddie Bertrand, playing with The New Soundwaves. They enthusiastically performed a number of surf hits, including Bertrand's famous, "Squad Car." Entertaining Eddie (of Eddie & The Showmen fame) raged with his guitar antics, bringing "down" the large, grateful audience of all ages. It was the best surf music I have ever heard. Eddie's passion for the surf culture showed and his pure joy for playing were evident. The New Soundwaves played with spirit, that had the audience dancing in the aisles. On hand at the memorable concert were Natalie Kotsch, founder of the HB International Surfing Museum, Linda Miller, Events Director for the HB International Surfing Museum (& her foot-tapping husband John) as well as Matt Liffering, host of Surf City Highlights on HBTV Channel 3. (Thanks, Matt.) He videotaped parts of the concert that are going to air on "Surf City Highlights" this July.
