Bob Berryhill
Bob Berryhill (born December 15, 1947) is an American musician. Biography
Berryhill was a member of surf music group The Surfaris and co-writer and recording artist of "Wipe Out" and other Surfaris' hits. In 1960, when Berryhill was 13, he took a trip to the Hawaiian Islands and learned to surf and play ukulele. On returning to California, he began working seriously on guitar and two years later, "Wipe Out" was born. His role of rhythm guitar merged into lead guitar later with his new band, The Surfaris featuring Bob Berryhill. Wipeout, was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2019. Bob Berryhill said:
"Ronnie [Wilson] loved Scottish marches and sometimes played with our high school Tartan marching band. That came into play coupled with my suggestion of bongo rock-type breaks for an arrangement, a drum-solo type of song with a simple guitar melody. Ronnie started playing the famous Wipe Out solo and in about ten minutes we had the song together." References
