Here's a trivia question for you. Can you name the 'surf band' that Larry Carlton played in as a teenager ? Very few people know this.

Eddie and the Showmen. Larry wasn't lead, though.
I think he was only 16-17 years old at the time.

All right, already.
Eddie & the Showmen
On their few 45s though, some were listed as Eddie and the Showmen.

"Wheely McSidewalk & The Ball Bearings was a pseudonym for a trio of guitar instrumentals cut in a sort of in-studio duel between some rival axemen, including a mid-teens guitarist Larry Carlton."

I had no idea but the story of his early years is pretty cool. This guy started young!

From Larry Carlton's website:
For a time, he played in the South Bay surf band Eddie and the Showmen, still an obscure favorite among 1960s surf music enthusiasts.
