Listen to the “St. Louis Hotline” and fill in the last three columns of the table. 13 Many popular styles of music were born in the US. Read the article about famous cities and their sounds and complete the table on page 114. 14 A surfer’s paradise, it’s not surprising that California would also become known as the home of surf music. When most people think of the genre, the Beach Boys come immediately to mind – with songs like “Surfing USA”, “Surfer Girl” and “Surfin’ Safari”, this LA band with their songs about sunshine, girls and fun certainly were a very good example of the Californian spirit of the 1960s. However, true fans will argue that real surf music doesn’t contain any vocals but rather just the sound of twangy guitars – a style of instrumental music made popular by Dick Dale in Southern California in 1961. Dale compared the way he played his guitar to the sensation you get when riding the waves on a surfboard. The mid-80s saw a revival in surf music, which was helped when Tarantino used Dick Dale’s “Misirlou” in his “Pulp Fiction” soundtrack. Though not as popular as it was in the 1960s, surf bands are still being formed all over the world. 1/23 Venue Artist Type of music Starting time Price Fox Theater Gladys Knight Smokey Robinson Harry’s Dr Zhivegas Mississippi Nights My Morning Jacket Powell Symphony Hall St. Louis Symphony Orchestra BB’s Jazz, Blues and Soul Michael Burks The Bistro Jeff Watts • Listen again.
