Thread Name: Apache recorded 60 years ago!
Subject: RE: Apache recorded 60 years ago!
My bad typing earlier.. man of hystery (sic). Should have been mystery. Whoops! Apache was just a tune originally played on a ukulele, not a tchaikovsky symphony. But it kick started many a cover and other groups of similar type. Marvin's sound reverberated down the decades. Of course there are many great R and B, Rock, jazz and folk guitarists before and after.. but it's got nothing much to do with the release of a million selling pop record 60 years ago. Occasionally well known guitar players will admit that they were influenced by watching the Shads. and their success through Apache etc, some having passed through instrumental or beat groups! Otherwise chalk and cheese! #folk snobs do you know one?
