Jennifer continues as a music educator and also plays in various Los Angeles big bands. Dan has been producing demos for up-and-coming musicians and has recently taken his trusty Rickenbacker (seen below) back into the limelight when filling in as a bassist. <br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oPJXMIKjhYk/Ts2UTWGLyNI/AAAAAAAAACs/3ENvC-a0Peo/s1600/SAMMY%2540CIA.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 387px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oPJXMIKjhYk/Ts2UTWGLyNI/AAAAAAAAACs/3ENvC-a0Peo/s400/SAMMY%2540CIA.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5678357765254006994" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4917099247567899352-4726448578473109223?l=jetpackband.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>JETPACKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02181083142044490053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917099247567899352.post-90849688514615952662010-11-15T18:05:00.000-08:002010-11-15T20:31:59.136-08:00A big thank you goes out to Thorbie for posting at this time last year on Double Crown Records his <span style="font-weight:bold;">Top Ten of the 2000s</span> which includes Jetpack in both album and song categories!<br />The Jetpack CD <span style="font-style:italic;">Planet Reverb</span> is joined by Jetpack label mates The Vanduras <span style="font-style:italic;">In The Dark</span> as one of the <span style="font-weight:bold;">Top Ten Surf Albums</span>. In fact, <span style="font-style:italic;">In The Dark</span> tops his list! <br />As for <span style="font-weight:bold;">Top Ten Surf Songs</span> The Vanduras track <span style="font-style:italic;">La Planche</span> and the Jetpack track <span style="font-style:italic;">Bus Stop</span> rank <span style="font-weight:bold;">numbers one and two</span> respectively! Jetpack's version of <span style="font-style:italic;">Bus Stop</span> went on to be included on the <span style="font-weight:bold;">Sharper Image</span> store's compilation CD <span style="font-style:italic;">Surf Guitar.</span> If anyone needed more convincing the song was a winner, they could ask The Nebulas who decided to do the surf version of Bus Stop a few years later on their CD (sans jazz guitar intro).<br />Thanks, Thorbie. Sorry it's a bit delayed, but we found out about this just a short while ago! <br />Trivia: <span style="font-style:italic;">Gary Brandin of the Vanduras performed pedal steel on the Jetpack track The Texas Longboard.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4917099247567899352-9084968851461595266?l=jetpackband.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>JETPACKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02181083142044490053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917099247567899352.post-7540409415251115052010-08-12T12:06:00.000-07:002010-08-12T17:44:46.764-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ShGqB8Qd1gY/TGRHUVyHFlI/AAAAAAAAACQ/f1oUqNmaA3k/s1600/jenn-stratRET2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ShGqB8Qd1gY/TGRHUVyHFlI/AAAAAAAAACQ/f1oUqNmaA3k/s400/jenn-stratRET2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504603059323868754" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4917099247567899352-754040941525111505?l=jetpackband.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>JETPACKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02181083142044490053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917099247567899352.post-25326002848266131472010-07-26T18:00:00.000-07:002010-07-26T18:18:26.293-07:00Mr. <span style="font-weight:bold;">John Berado</span>, surf fan, Jetpack fan, rotted-out load (self proclaimed), and swell guy. <span style="font-style:italic;"> Also-</span> special thanks to our attentive audience at John's party this weekend!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4917099247567899352-2532600284826613147?l=jetpackband.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>JETPACKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02181083142044490053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917099247567899352.post-34977381234344942582010-07-23T17:25:00.000-07:002010-07-23T17:31:57.970-07:00From <span style="font-weight:bold;">Buffy the Vampire Slayer</span> (tv series) <br /><br />Devon: <span style="font-style:italic;">Man, we need a roadie.
