Ritchie's Blues

[@phillipwhite7709]

Tapping the strings of his Strat with a pencil! Forerunner to Jimmy Page playing his guitar with a violin bow?? Ritchie is so underrated!

Super surf theme to this, Richie was way ahead of his time.

Richard Steven Valenzuela Ritchie Valens May / 13 / 1941 - February / 3 / 1959 Rest In Peace

In my opinion, this instrumental, along with Ritchie's 'Big Baby Blues', Fast Freight', and 'Malaguena' kicked off the instrumental surf era. Dick Dale, however, kept up the momentum which led to the 1963 - 1964 peak.

Classic!

I have to agree with rancherodave, WAYYY AHEAD OF HIS TIME . . . and taken far too soon, only 17. WTH? Love his Fast Freight instrumental, too, and Bluebirds Over the Mountain . . . to die for vintage vibe.

I wish I could just die to meet him.
