RINGO STARR WHAT'S MY NAME
 |
RINGO STARR - WHAT'S MY NAME 2019.
Including the tribute song for J. LENNON - Grow old with me.
RINGO STARR says:
The emotional centerpiece of the album is “Grow Old With Me,” a tune John Lennon wrote for his and Yoko Ono’s Double Fantasy but didn’t record (Lennon’s demo of the song appeared posthumously on 1984’s Milk and Honey).
I called Paul and said, “Hey, we’ve got this song. It’s a John song, you know, I’m going to put it on the album. You coming in, you could play bass for me please?” He said, “Sure, I’m coming over.” And that’s what it was. And what is really exciting, I’m on it, Paul’s on it, and Jack Douglas, unbeknownst to me, I go down to the studio where he’s putting the string section on and I listen to this music. He uses a George [Harrison] riff that everybody knows.

THE BEACH BOYS - 1962 SURFIN' SAFARI reworked and remastered 2022.
 |
DICK DALE - TRIBAL THUNDER 2002.
Dick Dale recorded “Let’s Go Trippin’” in 1962 with a Fender Stratocaster electric guitar and Fender amp, creating a reverb sound that distinguished “Let’s Go Trippin’” as the first surf rock song. As the originator of what became known as instrumental surf music, he defined this new sound as “a heavy machine-gun staccato picking style to represent the power of Mother Nature, of our earth, of our ocean.”
“I wanted my guitar to sound like Gene Krupa’s drums.” Dales said in a 2010 Surfer magazine interview. “I never went to school and learned music theory”, Dale said, explaining the sound he was reaching for: “When I play, I go, ‘This sounds like a tiger; this sounds like a volcano; this sounds like the lip of the water coming over my head when I’m surfing.’
He died this day, March 16th, 2019 of long-standing health issues. For Babyboomers, Dick Dale is remembered for his legendary shows at the Rendezvous Ballroom (packed with wave-riders and their blonde girlfriends doing the Surfer Stomp) in Newport Beach in the early 1960s.
