I can do the shirt, I can't build me own plane and then crash it. Or any John Denver.

Though I can actually play Miserlou on both guitar and bass. Oh and Rock Lobster.

I'd love to.
But there's some impediments.

I'm too old.
I'm nowhere near pretty enough.
There's no way I could fit Ben's shirt.
That picking hand tremolo thing defeats me.

And the absolute killer:
I play Telecasters.

Good luck guys; this would be an amazing band to be a part of.

We could make you a bib out of it ?

What, the shirt or the Telecaster?

The shirt of course.

The tele id use for and ironing board to make sure the bib was nice and crease free for performances.

I object to the refusal of any of you to accept that Telecasters have a place in surf rock.

There is such a thing as too many wigglesticks in one band.

Ahem.

1. yes teles are allowed in surf.
2. I actually have a telemaster bridge pickup in my JM to prove it
3. Also when i FIRST started playing surf i used a telecaster.
4. At no stage have I said telecasters dont belong in surf music, they just make great ironing boards. The two arent mutually exclusive.
5. Thank you come again

Is this some kind of upmarket "Thats what she said"???

Can I suggest a compromise of using a Tele as a bread board instead. it is roughly the right shape and Rob could use a nice one for his lovely-looking sourdough. No danger of melting the finish onto his shirt (poly) or setting fire to the house (nitro).

Personally, I draw the line at trems on basses, I have seen those too. But a guitar without a trem is like beer without chips...you can do without, but it is so much better when you don't.

amen brother. Hard tail = hard fail.

Absolutely , a telecaster makes a GREAT bread board.
Also my nan taught me you could press flowers between two tele bodies VERY effectively.
They are SUCH a versatile guitar.

amen brother. Hard tail = hard fail.

And this is why I will never make it as a Bull Kelp Surfer
