A lot of people were first exposed to standards when Willie Nelson recorded his "Stardust" album. BTW, it is one of my favorites. He maintains the integrity of the originals, but gives them his own special touch.

Three summers ago, a bussboy at the restaurant I work asked me if I ever learned "that guitar song from that Quinten Tarintino movie". I knew he was talking about a Dick Dale song from 1963 used in Pulp fiction.

I had played the tune many times in a surf band in California and had been on venues with Dick Dale, so I brushed the cobwebs away and played it (sounded really strange, but recognizable on a nylon string).

He was pretty impressed, until I told him that the last time I played it was 20 years before he was born. I think that was the same week another employee asked me where I got my antique Guild Starfire, and I had to tell him I bought it new.


Damn kids!
