see post below for Rick Nelson's connection with this 70's Laguna Surf Band.
Nothing to do with Rick but a seminal point in the movie.
* Will Brady (bass & vocals)
* Craig Buhler (saxophone, clarinet & flute)
* Tris Imboden (drums), drummer with Chicago since 1990
* Richard Stekol (vocals & guitar)
* Beth Fitchet Wood (vocals & guitar)
* Steve Wood (keyboards & vocals),
my 2 cents; i'm not a huge fan of the band yet their impact on surf history fusing with country soul, can not be denied.(a bit too fusion for me)
Certainly the country soul from LA had reached the fertile grounds of druggy Laguna.
It's marriage just never really lasted.
