This song started out by listening to some of the surf music by my friend Dirk Radloff.  I remembered playing Telstar and other Surf rock songs when I was younger.  These are special songs for a young electric guitarist.

Then Dirk talked about his Epiphone Casino with Bigsby, which he sold.  It's the only guitar, which he has missed so far and he has sold a lot over the years.  I happen to have a Casino I bought from another guitarist (not Dirk).

I decided I wanted to bring these two elements together.  Surf rock guitar and my Epiphone Casino.  I added in a Stratocaster for the lead guitar component.  I considered naming this song "Dirk made me do it".  But, in the end, I named it after Dirk's Surf Rock music:  The Golden Tornadoes (Spelled with an e).

Dirk is a talented musician with several albums.  I hope you find his music as enjoyable as I find it.  You can find Dirk's music here:  https://soundcloud.com/heartscore
