Dang. I just learned from @SwitchedOnPop that surf guitar god Dick Dale was of Lebanese descent and studied Arab music intensely when he was young.
Should have been obvious, I know. But still. Mind blown.
And I'm happy to report, via @ScottMadin, that Dick Dale is still with us at the age of 81. My apologies for the past tense.
I leave you with Dick Dale's version of Hava Nagila—from his second album, King of the Surf Guitar (1963).
Okay. Dick's playing Brooklyn next month. See you there.
