Steve Lodefink's "Garage Surf Motivational" song

I love this garage surf song that Steve Lodefink, a broad-spectrum DIYer, recorded. The vocals are unwittingly provided by Paul J. Meyer of the Success Motivation Institute, Inc. "Garage Surf Motivational"

A motivational garage surf song? That's unusual...

Well, you never know what you'll see on the Internets these days.

I'm diggin' the retro sleeve.

I have to admit, the inspiration was less Jack White, more Bill Barminski.

Mr. Meyer is ill these days, but still alive and kicking.
