DICK DALE AND THE DEL-TONES, "MISIRLOU"
This clip is early Dick Dale, from 1963. He is still out there playing-- check him out live if you can.
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.

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