Today was May Fest in North Mrytle Beach. I was working the Beach Boys product table with my mom. Hunter went with some friends and then hung out with my mom and I until the end of the show.
In the middle of the show they have a little contest on a snare drum. They call up audience members to come play "Wipe Out" with them. The best player wins a prize. My mom worked it out earlier in the day for them to choose Hunter to come up and play. Well Hunter went last and everyone was yelling for him. It was awsome. He won and the prize was a book that hasn't been released yet. After the show he got all the band members to sign it. So many people came up to him and told him what a great job he did. I wish Ronnie had been here. He would have loved it.
Below is the video I took of Hunter playing. The guy with him is the drummer for the Surf City All Stars, which is made up of two original Beach Boys and Dean of Jan and Dean. One of the band members was the son of one of the beach boys. Nice to see the talent passed down. He did all of the high harmonys and sounded just like his father.
Hope you enjoy the video.

GO HUNTER!! That is SWEET! Nice work bud!
That was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Proud grandmother, you bet. After the show, David Logeman, the drummer, sat with Hunter and they talked drumming. Also, Al Jardine and David Marks, both of the Beach Boys, and Dean Torrence, of Jan & Dean, were very complimentary of Hunter's ability. Who knows, maybe I will be an 80 year old "roadie".....
