      On Tuesday Sept. 15th,we where talking about old music. I wanted to look up "Theme from A Summer Place" (Released 1959) when I got home. At home, I went to "The Byrds - "I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better", looking for better HQ. I love to read the comments on UA-cam. One was about his (Roger McGuinn) Rickenbacker 360/12 (is a semi-hollow body with thru-body neck structure electric guitar made by the Rickenbacker company; it was among the first electric twelve-string guitars.) The "commenter's" channel looked cool, so I went there. They had a list of their "likes". I scrolled down. Nice stuff. Further down, I found "Theme From A Summer Place". THAT'S WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR ! What are the odds ???

      @joseph lemko Thanks! I take your compliment seriously because in my group of friends back in the 70s, I was the guy who made mix tapes and gave them away. I had a good ear for putting songs together with natural sounding transitions. My favorite job I never got paid for was DJ at my college radio station. My only shift was Sunday nights because I was busy working my way through school, but I had regular listeners who always called in with requests or to ask about a tune I played. In a perfect world, I'd still be doing it, but with pay.
      I didn't mention 8 Miles High because that song is on another level. I feel fortunate to have been a teenager at that time because music was just incredible. I always associate 8 Miles High with Shapes of Things because they just blew me away hearing what Jeff Beck and McGuiin were doing with the guitar. The Amboy Dukes. Journey to the Center of Your Mind had a similar effect. After hearing those songs as well as Tomorrow Never Knows, I never listened to music the same. They opened the door to all the possibilities of what a song could be.

      The Byrds were REAL musicians...McGuinn, Hillman, Crosby, & Clarke (drums) didn't need the Wrecking Crew to do their instrumentals like The Monkees, The Beatles (YES...The Beatles!), Mama's & Papas, Beach Boys, etc. did. Gene Clark was an awesome singer. Eight Miles High is my other personal song by them. All recorded in 1965...the 1st psychedelic group in my opinion.

      The Mersey Sound
      Sorry, but I'm afraid the Searchers themselves lifted that riff from another legend of the Sunset Strip - Jackie DeShannon.
      It featured prominently in 'Needles' and 'When You Walk In The Room' later that year in 1963 - both of which she co-authored.
      The Searchers would go on to cover both (on her recommendation) in '64.
      An even crazier fun fact ?
      I suspect it's probably none other than a teenaged Ry Cooder playing that riff. Pretty sure he was backing her when she opened for the Fab Four at the Hollywood Bowl in '64.

      As you've probably read, Jim McGuinn saw George Harrison play another model of Rickenbacker 12-string in A Hard Day's Night, and the rest was history. So many rock music acts in the States came out with songs that incorporated the electric 12-string sound (Turtles, We Five, Tom Petty, etc.)....but never was a band formed around a guitar sound, like the Byrds.

    It's an ear worm that I have loved the moment I first heard it some 54 years ago, was a thrilled 15 year old then ,who wore out copies of this song on many jukeboxes

    OMG l am 75 and a teen through the 60s and enjoyed the London club scene but all of us thought The Byrds outstripped the likes of The Beatles and The Stones by miles! Hanging on my wall since the 60s is a signed LP cover of Mr Tambourine Man by the entire group. I still listen to them 2 or 3 times a week! As good today
