Jammin' James Riley has a rocker from Carl Perkins in Rockabilly Rewind and there's tunes from The Surfaris and The Tourmaliners as well! 

*Disclaimer- Bruce began writing "Disney Girls (1957)" in 1970 (I say 1957 in error). Bruce is refering to the era he was writing about. The song was meant to be a "Back To The Future" song.  💓

It was recorded at Bruce's home studio where he played all the instruments on it & then added a live trumpet player playing the lead melody.

Happy 80th Birthday, Bruce!!!
