BILL DIEHL


One of my favorite bands that truly does not deserve the one-hit wonder label is the Minneapolis band the Trashmen.  A local DJ Bill Diehl who was in the audience when they first improvised their 1963 song “Surfin’ Bird encouraged them to record the song, and they later won a Battle of the Bands competition.
