Good Late Evening my RP Brothers and Sisters!
It is nearing 11pm and I am ready to hit the sack for the night, but I heard this song earlier today and wanted to share it with all of you... The song is by Bill Frissell and accompanying musicians listed below. It is entitled "Pipeline", it is an instrumental song, but one I believe you will enjoy... Some of you may remember this song parts of this song from years ago... performed by the Ventures... This rendition is a bit different, but smooth... I hope you all enjoy it...

Chantays performing their hit song PIPELINE in '63
Thank you, my friend Sgt (Join to see) for posting the music video of Bill Frisell performing a cover the 1962 The Chantays instrumental tune "Pipeline"
Song background: ""Pipeline" is an instrumental surf rock song by the Chantays, which was recorded in 1962.
The tune, originally called "Liberty's Whip", was renamed after the band members saw a surfing movie showing scenes of the Banzai Pipeline in Hawaii.[1] The tune, fitting in with the popular surfing craze of the time, swiftly rose up the Billboard Pop charts, reaching #4, and becoming a classic hit of its time. The tune is notable for using Alberti bass arpeggios.
Although they had myriad surf tunes, "Pipeline" was the Chantays' only hit single, and is considered one of the landmarks of the surf genre. The track's distinctive sound was largely due to the mix being "upside down" when compared to standard rock and roll of the era; the bass guitar, electric piano and rhythm guitar were at the forefront, while the lead guitar and drums were less prominent. Although the 45-rpm was released only in monaural, the track was recorded in wide stereo, with the rhythm guitar hard left, the bass and drums hard right, and the electric piano and lead guitar centered. Modern reissues, beginning with the 1980 MCA Records 7" single, are stereophonic."

LTC Stephen F. I remember this song from my high school days, but the version popular in our area was by the Ventures... Thank you for the detail on the song history, Stephen!

Very cool music video of the CHANTAY's original "PIPELINE" from 1962 LTC Ford.
Here is my vinyl 45 RPM record I bought in 1962. Still play it on my turntable.

PO3 Bob McCord - I have to go way back to '62 to recall but I believe I paid .90 or .95 cents including the tax for "PIPELINE". You are right, that was a lot of money for us back then.
