I have the original Chantays 45 vinyl that I personally pilfered from my moms old record collection.

Without THIS life would have been a lot more dull...because of this, rock really got rolling...still sounds mighty grand on a sunny java-jolted Saturday morning...

The Great Surf Guitar! Lives
Apparently there was more to Jimi's statement. From an interview with Dick Dale: I read that when Jimi Hendrix said, "You'll never hear Surf music again," that was in reference to your battle with cancer. Is that true? You know what's so funny? Why didn't they say the rest of his sentence? Do you know what the rest of the sentence is? No, I have no idea. What is it? I had never missed a gig in my life, and I had a temperature of 104, and I couldn't even talk...and had got hit real bad with rectal cancer. Jimi was recording in the studio and said, "I heard Dale did a no-show. That's not like him. You know?"
His guitar player said, "No man, he's dying."
They had given me three months to live.
Then Jimi said, "You'll never hear surf music again." And then he said, "I bet that's a big lie. Let's pack up, boys, and go home."
That was the full f-king sentence. |

In the "knock upon my door" part, I do a bit where I can't hear the knock cuz I've got the stereo up too loud.
When we did it recently, the drummer kept missing his cue to do the "knock" and it was three or four times before he caught it!

A breathe of fresh air.... Serious rock music oriented stations need that on occasion to keep things from getting too serious. Big surf guitar fan here!!! This is one of the prototypes for the genre! Just a notch below godlike....there are better SG tunes out there these days.  |

Somehow my brain catalogs surf music in the fifties. But it's early sixties.
