GUEST,Jerry Apache recorded 60 years ago! (277* d) RE: Apache recorded 60 years ago! 22 Jun 20


Just thinking. Although much loved by those of us of a certain age, Apache is a patchy tune at best (pun intended) - a simple chord led (almost arpeggiated) melody line in the key of A minor, with the f note sometimes sharpened. Does this make it the first chart hit in the Dorian mode? Moreover, was it also instrumental (sorry) in spawning a legacy of other more adventurous guitar tunes in A minor - Anji, Classical Gas, Judy, Windy and Warm, Tangerine Puppet, etc? It seems all guitar pickers at one time had Am tunes.
