No! "Pier Pressure"!
Surf Music is not known for guitar solos, but here's one that keeps me awake at night! Hell, the whole song's a solo. Teisco Del Rey (Dan Forte) needs no introduction instro fans and has serious cred. In addition to filling in for an ailing Don Wilson on a Ventures tour, he produced two of my favorite instro albums-"Music For Lovers", and "The Many Moods of........." which includes this gem, "Pier Pressure". That's Teisco on the melody and kick-*** trad Surf riff. At about 1:15, the criminally under-appreciated "Casper" Rawls explodes onto the scene and lays down a frightening barrage of notes-and it works. If you don't have these CD's, get 'em!
