Opener on Moonlight Beach, Scoobert’s cover of The Ventures’ 1960 surf-guitar standard “Walk Don't Run.” The LP essay frames the record as a place-record: named Encinitas geography, covers, guests, and songs built to play outside. Starting with a Ventures pass signals beach-guitar lineage before the originals (Feels So Good, Ocean View, etc.).
Public radio logs show FIP) plays for this cover alongside Dancing in the Moonlight (Beach): part of the French/German radio traction around the Moonlight Beach era.
