Program Notes
Do not expect to hear reminisces of The Beach Boys, Jan and Dean, Dick Dale, or even The Halibuts. Surfboard Blues hints at none of these famous surf musicians' trademark styles. This music is more at home in Chicago or even Atlantic City than in Malibu. Timothy Broege is most definitely an East Coast surfer (if only on manuscript paper), and he dedicates this short band work to "the surfers of the mid-Atlantic coast."
