<< So Dick Dale played that way also? I've run into a few guitarists
who play
this way - for one, Tam of The General Store. I've heard Hendrix played
like this sometimes, but I've never bothered to check into it. >>
Not only DID Jimi play that way,
but legend has it he was quite the Dick Dale fan to boot
(while on leave from paratrooping duty
in California during the very early sixties,
Jimmy used to, legend has it,
haunt the King of the Surf Guitar's residency
at the Rendezvous Ballroom in Balboa
.....and, come to think of it,
both of 'em liked playing white Strats back in the daze too,
with amps routinely set on TWELVE... )
P.S.,
on a semi-related very distorted note,
that infamous "you'll never hear surf music again"
from the Experience's "Third Stone From The Sun,"
far from being a wisecrack,
was in fact Jimi's lament over his ol' mentor Dick
(who, in '67,
had just been diagnosed with what was thought to be
inoperable cancer).
so, Scuse me while I,
Gary "and Speaking of Building up Buttercups, have many of you checked
into Bubblegum University yet??!" Pig
