For now I am using FlickR until I can afford the web space on WordPress. I will try over 300 videos in a video viewer. If that doesn’t work I may try them one at a time. I have duplicates because many times I converted video to the format I had to work with.
I will learn to fine tune the flickr videos down. The important thing for me to do now is upload while I have great internet speed.
It looks like for now the videos within the player will show up but they hyper- link to Flickr and don’t play within the viewer. Sitting in here a day might cure that but I need to work on that. If you get lost in these videos on FlickR, be sure to come back to visit!
Here is a different version of Floating Free with a glitch or two in the beginning.
GUTS!
This next video is from outer space. This is what a walk to the Frisbee Green looked like. The Green is where I learned to play Frisbee in 1978 and the starting grounds for a 25 year tour.

The Surf Punks were a pop punk band formed in 1976 by Malibu residents Dennis Dragon (1947-2017) and Drew Steele (d. October 2021). (Dragon was the son of symphony conductor Carmen Dragon, the brother of Captain & Tennille’s Daryl Dragon, and he was previously the drummer of the Byrds and the Beach Boys. Steele’s stepfather was Gavin MacLeod of McHale’s Navy, The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Love Boat fame.) Dragon recruited the additional talents of Malibu residents Tony Creed AKA the “Hulk”, for lead guitar and blues harp, fellow bodysurfer/frisbeeist John Hunt on the bass, and South Bay resident John Heussenstamm for lead guitar. This was the original core group, produced and engineered by Dragon in his garage studio across the street from Zuma Beach, his favorite body surfing spot. Mark Miller joined them on “Locals Only.” Jeff “Ray Ban” Eyrich joined the Surf Punks on bass #surfpunks Chrysan Silence
The lyrics of the band centered primarily on the in-group/out-group experiences of “locals” (surfers living on the beach in Malibu) and “vals” (commuters from the San Fernando Valley to the private and public beaches of the exclusive Malibu Beach community). Never truly “punk” in the traditional sense of the word, the Surf Punks were sort of a “Beach Boys of the punk world,” offering their take on the “turf wars” over the southern California beaches and its waves.”
