...and the era of Dick Dale's influential surf sound officially begins with 5 hits on KFXM thru 61-62. Great stuff

He did have great stuff.
Most memorable line to me
was "..From Balboa to Anaheim,
San Bernardino to Riverside...."
KING OF THE SURF GUITAR 1963.

Only other song that mentions
Berdoo is ROUTE 66. I liked
the Stones version. It rocked!
ANy other songs that mention it?
