Thank you so much. It was a great time to be that age and the Jersey shore was such a target rich environment for gigs. I never thought I would be lifelong friends with the band, but it has worked out that way. We are getting together this November. I was asked to join the band when the guy...

No the movie died when Trudy and her mother moved. Trudy did the lyrics for Do the Surf. The Realm has stayed together, but we lost touch with Trudy. She did have some talent and a good stage presence. I have done some internet searching for her, but no luck. I am not sure if we would have...

Thanks. I think not doing more originals was a major mistake. There were just a couple never recorded and now forgotten. We did a lot of Stones, Doors, The Who, Byrds, Cream, and Kinks and of course some Beatles. We were fans of the Shadows of Knight who have a number of tunes in TBM 1000...

Trudy was from NYC where "Do the Surf" was recorded. The Realm is all male and form Middletown NJ. The Realm boys were all 14 at the time of the recording. As you can see in the pic the band was all Fender.
