A Tribute to Dick Dale


Dick Dale is one of those guys..."He is the Man". So is B.B. King, so are a select few others (Pete Townshend is...well, Pete. He said, "I'm a Boy"...in the song, but he is The Man too).

If you do not think so, or don't know who Dick Dale is, go listen to a song called Misirlou.

Dick Dale King of the Surf Guitar!

Nuff said!

I once worked at a computer store with Dick Dale's young Niece. She was very proud of her uncle, and man can he play.

Loved your story about the guitar on Rachel's blog.

To Gary:

Thank you. I wanted to get my company to hire him to do a big party, but the wheels turn too slowly, and Dick is booked a lot already.

Pete Townshend (I admire most of him...I think...never met him) has changed my view of music, just like I said in the Rachel Fuller blog.

Really, I am not just some sparkle-eyed fan kook...not me.


Regards,
