This good long ride began in the ’70s, those mad times when the Mad Beach Band came into our lives.

How incredibly special were they? So much music, so much love and parties and fun. I’m not sure any other period could top it, even if we weren’t forced to get older and more responsible.

But if there’s one thing we know, then as now, it’s that music is the salve that our aches and pains and hearts and brains need.

So let’s celebrate that Pete, Dave, TC, Lenny, Vinnie and TK are still making music for us, as our Mad Beach Band. And here’s to more good times!
