Wow..!! What a RUSH....had the pleasure 2 play with Mr. Orr and Mr. Spickard 2day (tues) in Balboa....After a 2 hr bus ride down from Anaheim, I had no Idea what musical treat was in store for me...would GLADLY make that trip ANYTIME..!! what a BLAST..
On this date in 1963 {Mar. 2nd} "Pipeline" entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it would peaked at #4 and spent 16 weeks in the Top 100...
Ranked 27th on Billboard's Year-End Hot 100 Singles of 1963 chart...
Was originally titled "Liberty's Whip,"
The Chantay's re-recorded the song in 1997 as a acoustic version and labeled it "Pipeline Unplugged"...
(Part 1) I suppose it was early summer 1975, as I stepped in the door of my parent's home, Montreal, that I first heard it. The amazing rythm, building and swelling as the surf, the snapping of the canvas seeking the tight line, keyboard notes as sunlight that sparkles on the waters, carried away, yet transfixed in those moments in time. Told Denise all about it.
(Part 2) Denise and I were together then, perhaps even now somewhere in our hearts, for I like to believe that true love never dies, when you meant it. Never knew the name of the song. Took a skill in Thunder Bay, maintaining aircraft, and worked on heavies in Montreal. Came home one evening, and there it was again, phantom of the seas. Called the radio station, what was that song? Sound of papers, pages turning, playlist. Pipeline. Chantays.
(Part 3 of 3) Big smile, old friend, here we meet again, rogue wave of the high seas, yet lifting as it were. No one to tell it to now, though. Long sadness, but no regrets. We do our best. More years pass, and as with the comets, Pipeline and the Chantays come around again, every so often, gentle reminder, with the rythms and the keys: Vancouver, Seattle, Geneva, Montpellier, like a breeze through the hair, touch of sun upon the cheeks, hanging ten in the curl...the Pipeline. Thank you.
The Chantays ... they are the ones. I got their album in 1963 and listened to ALL of their songs day and night. Ghost Riders ... Wayward Nile ... all of 'em! Excellent stuff ... I still play Pipeline to this day in whatever band I happen to be playing in!
I frosts me whenever I hear Pipeline and the Ventures in the same breath! Chantays all the WAY!

Hey BigGuy, thx for the post. In case you didn't get a chance to maybe look at some of the other bands that day (they're on my channel at tompotts0615, I'll give you a quick explanation for the drummer in front of the bands. There was a "surf drummer" showcase that day, which at times featured multiple drummers (including a "drum battle" with father / son drummers,Tracy & Matt Longstreth). I happened to be there that day to video my friend,Tracy,and ended up shooting most of the day.
