And let's not forget that the amazing Earl Palmer played drums on at
least The Wedge (arguably some of the best drumming on any Dick Dale
song). (Palmer played on a lot of '50s New Orleans hits, including
all of Fats Domino's tracks, until he moved to LA in the early
sixties.) I remember years ago Deke Dickerson saying that he saw
the session sheets for that song, plus a bunch of others, and that
it was indeed Palmer rather than Blaine that played on that track.
I wonder if he would remember who the other players were? I suspect
it was constantly changing, anyway.
