John O,
you are right, after going back and re-reading the thread
I saw that Chuck said JFA.
as for Charlie Brown theme,
love the song, but its a Jazz tune,
So I will award 1 ticket to each person,
for getting in the area on some, and getting other answers.
Can all 3 of you attend the event?
And not that it really matters now, that the thread is way down here in Tiki Music,
Thanks to the Higher Powers that be, and Thread sticklers.
So.....
Band JFA, so Chuck got that one
1st song, Gavin mentioned it, but never followed thru on the connection.
Pipetruck, their take on Pipeline,
related to tiki by,
Pipeline is a surfing spot in Hawaii and tikis are in Hawaii (vague yes, but it works for me)
by the way, John O told me on the phone Tikis were not from Hawaii, but from the US mainland,
still trying to wrap my head around that one. WOW!!!
2nd Song that PTD got
Baja, a quintessential surf song,
but with a South of the Border theme That ties into Tiki Oasis.
3rd song, Bonus,
Walk Don't Run
This song was originally done by Jimmy Smith, and was a pretty strait,
if not Mellow Jazz song.
Chet Atkins later livened it up and re-did it,
Then in 60 or 61 (Pre surf)
the Ventures did a rock instro Version of it.
yes it did have a surf beat, but this was before surf was born,
and if you asked them if they were doing a surf version then, or now,
they would have said No,
They did re-record it in 64, with tons of reverb and Organ,
and a reworked structure to the song.
Some would say Surf, I would almost say Post surf,
and the Organ was way over the top and annoying
Would the Ventures call it surf? I dunno, ask them,
but I say its not.
Then they did a disco version of it in 79
and a Ska Version of it in 2000.
So there you have it,
the Big Dud of a trivia game,
Maybe I should have gone with John O suggestion about the surf songs
with tiki in the titles.
There is always next year.
Should I just start in Tiki Music,or Try it out in General Discussion?
The First years question is still there in General Discussion.
go figure.
Winners,
e-mail me at [email protected] about your winning.
thanks for playing.
Jeff(btd)
