I ran across this website about surf music. It’s mainly about guitars but they have a really interesting article about the sax. Thought you guys might be interested.

Dick Dale is a man of talent and innovation. Orgin Of the indestructible Amp. I had no clue the band ever had sax players. Thanks for sharing.

I think the sax is a good fit in a lot of that surf style music.

Haha. Dick Dale indeed. He owned a club in the OC some years ago.
I was playing in the bar down the street and wandered in one nite.
Talked my way nto a tryout and played there with DD's band for some time before I found out he was a aax player. Decent gig mostly ...

Evidently Dick Dale also played trumpet and drums.

Yes. Here’s a good briefing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Dale. You’re going to love the guitar part. Stop by the Fender exhibit in Fullerton if you get the chance.https://www.cityoffullerton.com/gov/departments/museum/exhibits/leo_fender_exhibit/default.asp
