okay storytime. Did I ever mention how I discovered surf guitar?
I may have told this one before.
So my Dad decided sometime when I was in high school that he was interested in Klezmer music. One of the albums he got was the first Klezmorim recordings and my favorite track on the album was "Baym Rebbe's Sude," https://youtu.be/9_UJWrfwgAA
... which doesn't sound especially compelling as is, but speed it up to 1.25x or a little faster and it's a seriously awesome surf track. And I remembered it being that fast somehow!
Naturally, when I discovered there was an entire genre of music which was a little like my fave track from that album, I was hooked.

@Leucrotta I mean, you're probably already way ahead of me on knowing where Dick Dale cribbed the fundamentals of surf rock...
