Hang ten

“Everybody’s Surfin'” by Ricky Vale and his Surfers on Strand.   You can hear a couple cuts and maybe still buy this lp at Belly Bongo.

To Tell the Truth

Garry Moore was a radio and TV talk show host and host of TV game shows like “I’ve Got A Secret” and “To Tell The Truth”.     I found this cover on a cool site called Learning to Share.   Check it out for all kinds of interesting old stuff.

Hmmm?

img_3704.JPG

I don’t get this one.   I think the translation of “Naufrago” from Spanish is “shipwrecked” but there must be some second meaning to refer to the stools and half-empty glasses of orange juice.   Anyone have any insights?

Olive the nightlife

img_3671.JPG

Graham Forbes and the Trio “The Martini Set”.   1955.

Unlikely album for Sam Phillips to release.   An album of pop standards from the big band era such as “From this moment on”, “The lady is a tramp”, “Autumn in New York”, etc.   The reason this is so collectible is it came from Sam Phillips’ Sun Studios in Memphis.   Very few printed at the time of release.
