		This year for the first time in 9 years we opted NOT to attend the Buddy Holly Weekend (or whatever they're calling it now) at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa.
		Keep in mind that we went to this more to enjoy ourselves rather than to document the event like I do when we go to the Surf, so I wasn't paying as much attention to the details and instead could actually be found on the dance floor.
		The Kato Ballroom was considerably smaller than the Surf but I think very well kept up and friendly.

	Tsunami Soul Surf Music page
		Surf music has its roots in instrumental rock music from the 50s and early 60s by groups like Link Wray and the Raymen (also check out: Wray's Shack 3 Tracks), Duane Eddy, The Ventures, The Fireballs, Johnny And The Hurricanes, The Shadows, The Spotniks, Los Jets, The Champs, The Fendermen and The Wailers.
		Instrumental surf music is quite different from vocal surf music, performed by such groups as Jan and Dean or, with some exceptions, the Beach Boys, that sings about surfing.
		Vocal surf music deals mainly with the lifestyle associated with the surf scene - while instrumental surf music is about the raw experience of confronting the elements.
