the real surf music you know Arthur (Lee) liked surf music and came to my house in Claremont a few times to spin records and talk about all things surf and life.  There was even a visit that ran into slightly after sundown.  He didn't mention if he got a traffic or parking ticket as a result of this visit.  He enjoyed tunes like this (which he brought over):



But he very much enjoyed the flip side of a surf record I owned, "Church Key" and we spoke at length about this one in a broad and sometimes larger cosmic kind of way.  I was unaware there was a predecessor released, this one:

THAT was SURF MUSIC .... in case you don't know the real origins.  And the sound waves pounded up against the walls (sometimes my Dad came in to complain:  "What's going on in here?  What's the matter with you kids!  Keep it down! I'm missing the best part of 'Gunsmoke'!")
