If
there was ever a shrine to 1950s rock 'n roll, the Surf Ballroom has to be
it. On this page, I've put a few pictures I've taken at the Surf. I've also
added a link to the ballroom's own website There you will find everything
you will want to know about the Surf. What a wonderful magical place suspended
in time..
Another great site to visit is John Linquist's page. John has chronicled all the Surf tributes and can tell you what guests appeared therefrom 1970 onward!
