As one of the founding members of the Fireballs, George Tomsco is a true rock & roll pioneer. In the late \u201850s and \u201860s, his guitar playing was ubiquitous on the radio waves with hits as \u201cTorquay,\u201d \u201cBulldog,\u201d \u201cSugar Shack\u201d and \u201cQuite a Party.\u201d

Tomsco is the subject of a comprehensive, 18-page interview in the\xa0Fretboard Journal\xa0#28, where he talks about the sessions the Fireballs did at Norm Petty\u2019s studios, his gear and his influences. On this week\u2019s podcast, we ask Tomsco a bit more about those early sessions, how the classic surf instrumental \u201cTorquay\u201d got its name and how he stumbled upon the Fender Jazzmaster. We also hear about what Tomsco is up to these days and the future of the Fireballs. Also on the podcast:\xa0Fretboard Journal\xa0updates and much more.\xa0
