No disrespect to the poor folks in Japan. I’m packing my iPod Shuffle with surfing music to take along to La Jolla Cove to watch the tsunami waves come in today. Came across this nifty bit of surfing music…

Seeing what a six foot wave has done in Japan, I can’t even imagine an 80 foot wave. Makes me wonder, what was the biggest wave ever recorded? Did anyone try to surf it? Vaqueros is Spanish for Cowboy, by the way.

I know absolutely nothing about The Vaqueros, except that they’re from the oddly named town of Virginia, Minnesota, and it was written by a cat named T. Schmidt, who was probably a member of the group. No information can be found about these guys anywhere in my wall of music resource books. That’s amazing, considering how well they play. If you know anything about this band, please let me know!
