 he used to come down to Bronte surf club, on occasion, to listen to The Delltones and others who played there. 

 My older brothers and sister knew him well.

 those days were before my time, actually...

 My two brothers, who frequented the surf club, were eleven and nine years older than me. By the time I became a member of the surf club, they had left, along with The Delltones, JOK, Johnny Devlin and Hendo...

 He did. 

 In that photo, our house was just out of picture, to the right of the huge flats next to Pee Wee's head.

 We only had to run down the hill, to swim...then trudge all the way back up, after...

 Ouch

Some oldies but goldies amongst that lot Bob. That Bobby Hatfield singing Unchained Melody has just about the best voice ever. His famous recording when wearing the pink jacket has never even come close to being matched - & a lot of great singers have tried thats for sure.

 Loved Ray Brown and the Whispers.  

 I still have most of their 45's. 

 And Thorpie...was there ever a better version of Over The Rainbow? Judy Garland, eat your heart out.

 No Bryan Davies? Sacrilege... I could listen to Dream Girl, all day.
