Came across this on YouTube. The CP's are playing the Centurion's classic with Bruce playing the sax line on the steel guitar. This is so awesome it gives me chills. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

They do the best version, hands down. They're the reason I've never pushed us doing it. —The Mystery Men? |

Great find Brian! Maybe it's heresy, but I actually like their version better than the original. Very nice! —Paul |

Unbelievable cover of a classic! Seriously, I have been listening to it over and over. Do these guys still play and/or post on this forum? —MooreLoud.com - A tribute to Dick Dale. |

A few years ago Phil, the bass player, moved to Las Vegas, so I don't know if the Cocktail Preachers are still active. Steve still plays in 13 Tikis and maybe some other bands? I've seen them play live many times over the years and they were always an excellent band! —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

THANKS BRIAN for the compliment. We have recently reformed replacing Phil on Bass with Craig and our drummer Dr. Ben has returned. Bruce & Dr. Ben actually instigated the reformation and so far its been really fun. We will be playing the CATT (Chicago Area Tiki Tour) event this April14th at Hala Kahiki lounge. |

What a cool blast from the past. I had forgotten how frickin' cool you guys' version of that tune was (and you guys are in general). Welcome back! —The Mystery Men? |
