 This isn't the send-up you may think.  Remember for us old farts,
the Beach Boys were pretty cool for awhile.  Buck's no 18 years old
anymore.  Also, I remember reading an interview w/Buck in 'Guitar
Player' way back when, and he said that his influences were surf
music, and Danny Kalb from the 'Blues Project.'  I don't really hear
the connection in his playing, but the tone of the interview was
serious, and I don't think he was putting anyone on.
