"Runaway" is still a staple for Garage/Surf Bands everywhere-either as an instrumental or as a vocal. I chose to spotlight a couple of lesser known and more "garagie" tunes.
As many of you know, Del was picked to replace Roy Orbison in "The Traveling Wilburys", but died.

Hey Kenpo-let's work out that harmonizing distorted guitar solo for a Mini-Con or SG101 convention.

That would be the "Clavioline" if I'm not mistaken...

I believe you're the winner!

After we played "Runaway", a "regular" at the venue came up to me and said, "I thought that was an organ, but now I know it's a guitar". God bless the Hughes and Kettner Rotosphere.
