I think that what Jim was saying is that there are a lot of people-
drummers and guitarists- who may look down upon surf music as being so
simple, and feel that they are able to play the standards simply
because they have a heard the song in passing, but never really
studied. This is a huge error and immediately points out the punters
from the players. Little things like hitting the major 7 note in the
first line of Mierlou, or playing the 2 minute version of Pipelne and
resisting the temptation to jam on it for 5 minutes. Or, yes, when a
drummer overplays in Wipeout.
The Boss Martians are definitely worth seeing, though they have nothing
to do with surf.
