Misirlou Electric Violin (Barytone) Rebo Pickup Uli Boesking

Misirlou - one of the most famous traditional greek folk songs.

Here - as "Surfinbéla"
http://www.uli-boesking.de/surfinbela/
- I play the orientalized version made popular by Dick Dale (remember the picture Pulp Fiction).

Recorded 07-04-21 by Gustavo Castellanos (Cali, Colombia; - ¡muchísimas gracias, Gustavo!) at "Spedition", Güterbahnhof Bremen, Germany.

I play a custom black semiacoustic violin equipped with a Rebo electromagnetic Pickup, built-in preamp, battery compartment & Pegheds pegs.

The amp is an overdriven Fender Blues Junior tube amp with lots of internal surfin' spring reverb. No external effects!
Thomastic Super Flexible Octave Violin strings bowed with a Karl Herrmann viola bow.

Andy (Andreas) Merck - bass, Ray de Vario - drums; both of the roots-R&R band "Velvetone"

Is the reverb in it good for surf?

[surfinbela]

The Fender Blues Junior has a relatively short reverb spring (23 cm), but it sounds / "clanks" fine!

NO ITS A GREEK SONG

i looked it up and you're right.

the greeks have truely invented everything.

@1schwererziehbar1 - kannst halt weder lesen noch gucken noch googlen noch ... dein nick scheint programm zu sein :) ... obwohl positive neugier nix mit erziehung zu tun hat ... schau doch einfach mal welch völlig unbekannter spielt, dummerle :)
