re: #318 albusteve

my daughter hired a cover band for her wedding party and when those guys hit the floor my jaw dropped…I flat out could not believe what I was hearing, and the lead guitar was just about as good as a player can get

You would have loved this place, Chick Hall’s Surf Club. Chick Hall Jr. was the house band guiarist played bass (and owned the club.) Their father, Chick Hall Sr., was a monster player in the 50s and 60s.

A story they tell about him is he used to go to a guitar contest in Virginia when he was a teenager. He won so many times in a row, one year they just gave him the first prize as soon as he showed up.
