Yes, I also love that original version of A Run For Life (aka The Wedge) with
it's funny piano in the rhythm. I think we have John Blair to thank for putting
that comp together.

Oddly enough, I was looking for that Rhino Records "Legends of Guitar:
Surf" CD the other day that featured that song. That is really hard to
find, and in fact, it is selling for over $30 (one place had it for
$99!!!!) on Ebay/Half.com/Amazon. Incredible. What's up with that?
If you have Real Player, you can listen to a clip of that song as well
as read a cool article on surfing/surfboards at NPR:
Look over on the left for the Dick Dale clip.
So where is the next best place to get that song? The DD Better Shred
Than Dead Anthology?
