Surf Music Of The 1960's
Surf Music was an exciting and regionally popular sub-genre of early 1960's American popular music that rose out of the beachside dance clubs in southern California. It was the Beach Boys and Jan & Dean who recorded songs about the sport of surfing and turned them into nationally popular hits, but it was a slew of echo-laden guitar instrumentals locally popular in southern California that many purists say is the only "true" surf music. Regardless, a heavy dose of both styles is featured this week on Joel Najman's My Place program Saturday from 8-9PM on Vermont Public Radio.
