Brilliant rendition! I am Terry, The TAZ, one of the Vara-tones. This song written, by our leader, Bill Epps, has always been one of our favorites. Tom, you've done a beautiful transcription and superb performance.

Atlast! Atlast! someone are doing covers from The Vara Tones from the album Jetty Subject To High Surf. Keep them comming! :-D Thumps up.

You make those double stops look effortless, when they're actually extremely difficult to play. Always impressed by your playing. Great tune.

[lefantomedubengale]

this solo deserves a place in the pantheon of rock guitar.
perfect mix of blues and spanish guitar.
respect to Vara-tones (I don't know the name of the guitarist) and Tom Conlon

[Brian_Vallejo]

What an incredible interpretation. This looks like one of the harder songs to play, but you really nailed it. This will be my next song to learn. Thanks for posting!

I adore this song, I think 2:38 is my favourite part. Another great from the Vara-Tones is surf-blaster, partly for that drum intro

Thank you Tom.
May God bless and keep you.

It doesn't get any better than this!
My goodness, your playing is flawless! Think I'm not capable of achieving this tune I fear! Might try! So precious! Thanks!!

[col.davidcrockett]

Wow one of your best, so flamenco sounding. Love it!

[williamwarlick]

So, So beautiful and precisely done! Thank you!

Wow ! a great tune by the Vera-Tones I have both of their CD's This is one of my favorites, Thanks for doing it. I've been a fan of the Vera-Tones and the Torquays for years.

Another excellent surf cover, you make it look so easy! Wish I had your natural talent, I’ve been a slightly frustrated surf guitarist since the late sixties but you have given me hope. I supplemented my income on weekends as a fairly descent bass player in various country bands but have always loved surf music. Thank you!

[achar]

Yes! Litterally wanted to learn this song for years

[gaWalt]

Great job on this song Tom. I'd never heard it before and I'd never heard of the Vara-Tones. I listened to and downloaded the original song by the Vara-Tones and you really nailed it! I've listened to the song several times now and it's really growing on me. Thanks for presenting this gem from the past and making me aware of its existence and the existence of The Vara-Tones.
They have apparently gotten back together after over 36 years ago when they first got together.

[andrerock]

Absolutely fabulous rendition of what is probably the Vara-tones' most beautiful tune. Congratulations, Tom!

[allanhayes]

I absolutely love your arrangements and although it would take me a lifetime to master, I appreciate being able to try. I am not into shredding and love your arrangement of the classics. Please keep me inspired.

First time I've heard that tune. Nice choice; nice playing. 👍👍
