Yeah, but there's only room for one bass amp on the stage.

My fellow SCARF/Ricktoberfest bassists: I've sent you guys a PM.

Surf Song List : Updated 10/7/10
datru was kind enough to relinquish the rhythm on Rawhide and Rebel Rouser! YOU can be Link Wray (nobody cooler) or Duane Eddy (except maybe him or Dick Dale) for a day. Amaze and impress your friends!

I've got a lot on my plate already, but I can play Feel A Whole Lot Better (along with most of this Forum, I assume!), sing and play rhythm on Runnin' Down A Dream, and play A Hard Days Night if you need.

I, too, want to sing on Runnin' Down a Dream. Want to sing a double lead vocal? Will your Showman be present?

I'm playing rhythm on everything except a solo on "Refugee", which I hope everyone has watched the arrangement I want to base it off of because if we're not in sync...well...

Go ahead and put me down for the rhythm part on Apache. My old band 2000 Pound Bees used to play it, so I'll refresh my memory tonight.

Like I said, I've got a lot on my plate. You take Runnin' Down a Dream. Let me know on the other stuff.
Re. My Showman: Stage space is pretty tight. I think we have a couple of Twins and an AC-30. They should be enough. Wouldn't hurt to have a backup Twin or two and an AC-30 backup.

You've got it Ron! We will be doing The Ventures version which uses Dmaj instead of Dm and a few other minor changes. David is playing lead and I'm doing the "fills", so we'll have 3 guitars on this one.
I have you for lead on Walk, Don't Run and Wipeout as well.

Jake, you don't want to do that cool little Dave Davies' solo on The Kink's "All the Day and All the Night " ?

The song list has the latest updates:

Major Surf/Instro Announcement:

Since we are splitting this group into 2 sets, I've decided to do a Surf set and an Instro (NOT Surf) set.
We currently have 5 Surf Songs and 6 Instro Songs. since they are typically short, I'd like 8-10 in each category. Please submit suggestions and SIGN UP.
And thanks to the guys who have signed up-we're gonna have FUN!

On a somewhat related note, does anyone know what happened to Collin Whitley? Normally, he'd have beyond a number of posts in this thread...

Thanks for lookin out, Jake!


I just started (yet another!) new job, which is super demanding time-wise. Hopefully it'll slow down a bit soon, so I can hang out here more often!

I will, however, schedule time in for SCARF---see ya all there.

Small World Band is welcome as well, by the way.

Hey Paul- that's one U2 song I haven't played. I know "I Will Follow", "Vertigo", and "Pride". Sorry I haven't kept up with these posts...been traveling a little. Look forward to the 16th!

Here's how the Surf/Instro sets break down:
