Nice. I wander how the people obtain clips like this. Consumer VCRs weren't around then while networks and production companies generally don't share.

I am also a fairly serious surf guitar player - I have my own surf/punk/trash band - and Pipeline is perhaps (maybe along with Misirlou) my favorite surf song ever. Just shows that Welk got it, no matter how much the 'rockers' made fun of his one, an-a-two, an-a-three.

I don't wanna derail this too much, but this just came up on the surf guitar forum - a disco version by Bruce Johnston while he was on hiatus from the Beach Boys in 1977 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pnqkvRDlo8 - Oy vey, what'll they think of next?! This was apparently a fairly big hit (but definitely NOT in my circles).

That's horrible, Dave. I lasted about 10 seconds.

Whoa! He played a left-handed guitar, strung right-handed!

The technical state of the art at the time was called "miming".

Thanks b0b. I enjoy them too. MOF, it's been covered so much thatI had forgotten it was the Chantays who did this tune.

Shimmering Surf Music is one of my favorites to try and play on the guitar except all my circle are younger and don't really get the vibe and feeling of those days. Still, I'm fortunate to have them suffer through my feeble renderings sometimes.

Pretty good. I lasted 10 milliseconds!! Absolutely horrendous.

Robert B Murphy · Post by **Robert B Murphy** » 12 Feb 2022 8:13 am

I still get emotional hearing that tune and seeing the Chantays. How could anyone be so young? And the tone of that Wurlitzer piano!

Ok, since B0B posted the song Apache I’ll post a massively hokey version of it. Disco, girls and everything! Time to throw away my steel guitars and take up the keyboards.

Bob,
I think your link requires a "can't unsee this" warning for anyone contemplating clicking. Speaking of Apache, I like Steelism's take on the song - plus, it has steel guitar!

Dick Dale actually really surfed, unlike others…
My buddy Larry Z. and I got picked up hitchhiking by the Chantays in SLO many years ago after his ‘31 Ford blew up on the 101 outside of SLO towne in late ‘60s. They gave us a ride to our digs in Shell Beach and partied the rest of the evening! Good times!
They were cruising down the coast after surfin’ Santa Cruz ,headin home to SoCal area.

Dana, very cool story. I always figured the Chantays, or more specifically Spickard and Carman, used the bargain guitars in the pictures of their high-school dance playing years to record the original before graduating to Fenders. Anybody know? Tom Wheeler's American Guitar picture of them at the Fender plant to get their custom ordered guitars is great. It's hard to beat Hank Marvin's Apache but I had Billy Mure's version imprinted in my head. Billy lived just down the road from me in Palm Bay, Florida and I never knew it until he passed away.

Back in my garage band days (Surf & hot rod ) Link Wray influenced, the Chantays, the Lively Ones, Dick Dale , Fankhauser bands, people used whatever equipment and or guitars that they could afford. My first good guitar was a ‘64 sunburst Strat, and a Heathkit amp that was similar to a fender deluxe with a 12” speaker.
Silver tone amps were popular too, a lot of Fender amps, if you had a Fender 3 knob tube reverb you were golden. Magnatone amps had a really good sounding tremolo circuit that was different than Fenders.
