Spiro
Paul Johnson
a PJ original A goofy improv piece from the late “60s. Yes, Spiro Agnew WAS VP at the time... those "sliding" chords sounded to me like they were calling his name...
CD: Liquid Blues
'03
Apache
The Surfaris
One of the great early instros. Written by Jerry Lordan, this was a smash in England for the Shadows in “60; Danish guitarist Jorgen Ingmann“s cover hit big in America the following year.

The Belairs

Surf Music Unplugged

Front Edge of Time
Paul Johnson
a PJ original I do some fingerpicking on this laid back tune from my multitrack series...
Escape to Reality

A reverent version of one of the most beautiful hymns of all time.
Christmas With the Hepcats
'86
Pressing In
The Packards
a PJ original I co-wrote this earnest tune in “80 with Pat Herrell, a very good rhythm quitarist in the earliest lineup of the Packards. (He opted out to go into full-time ministry.)
