    The thing I find super-interesting about Dick Dale is that he's Lebanese, and grew up with Lebanese music. Thus the super-fast single-note picking and Arabic modes. I had always wondered why surf music was so full of those flat-second scales...Dale's heritage is the reason.

    Ah- another piece of the puzzle. I didn't know that.
