Subject: Legends From: Slag Date: 18 Jul 06 - 03:27 AM I have a 45 RPM from around 1962. Let me clarify that: I have a 45 somewhere in my attic and as hot as it has been its probably fused into a stack of other such vinyls. Nonetheless, it was a "Surf" sound. Insturmental titled "Legend" or "Legends" by a group which called themselves The Ho-Dads. OK, OK, When you've stopped laughing I would like to know if anyone has ever heard of this group or has any history on them. I think the lable was Dunhill but I'm not sure. The B side was another insturmental titled "Raunchy". The next cooling trend we have I'll redouble my efforts to locate said record but in the interim, anybody? |

Subject: RE: Legends (by the HoDads) - any history on them? From: Peace Date: 18 Jul 06 - 03:45 AM It was entitled "Legends" and the group's name was The Ho-dads, spelled with the hyphen. I will dig around tomorrow, Slag. Gotta get. It's late and I'm old. G'night. |

Subject: RE: Legends (by the HoDads) - any history on them? From: George Papavgeris Date: 18 Jul 06 - 06:00 AM I understand it means "those who hang around the surfing crowd without being surfers themselves". Or is there an additional meaning? |

Subject: RE: Legends (by the HoDads) - any history on them? From: Slag Date: 19 Jul 06 - 03:59 PM Hey, open mike. I in lived and surfed Pacifica in 1964-5 and in 1967! Linda Mar beach. In '67 I lived in a beach cabin at Shelter Cove, Pedro Point before the road washed out! George P. It must be magic because I had Googled "Legends" and "The Ho-Dads" many times in the past and found nothing. Maybe someone was listening!?? |

Subject: RE: Legends (by the HoDads) - any history on them? From: Slag Date: 20 Jul 06 - 03:02 AM The question still remains: Who were the Ho-Dads? Names? Continuing careers? (God forbid) Viet Nam? Where are they now? |
