This is the Jan and Dean band following the death of Jan Barry.     A fascinating story  of this band both before and after the death of Jan can be found in Bob Greene's book "When We Get to Surf City".    A loving and respectful look at Jan and Dean and the supporting band that included some who graduated to the Beach Boys touring band in subsequent years.  The SSAS website is also worth a visit.

their Acoustic Vibrations cd is very good, and can be downloaded at itunes.  Can anybody id the non-Matt or Al Jardine leads on that cd?

Will have to look for that book, thanks for the tip, donald!

The CD I mentioned is at least half BB tunes.
