The man was one of my many influences!
Dick Dale
Sadly, I didnāt know of Dick Dale until ā94. The opening credits intro music of the film Pulp Fiction changed that for me!
Misirlou, such a classic even Tarantino was a fan.
A few years ago I learned of Dick Dale while researching Link Wray. R.I.P.
Sad news. RIP
āRumbleā!!
RIP Rick Dale
R.I.P. Dick.
Oh I didnāt notice the āauto correctā on my phone.
Haā¦the bass player chokes at 21:02. No more gigs for him!
Gotta respect a guy that can jam like that on an upside down backward guitar.
I know right. He learned everything inverted when all he needed to do was get a lefty guitar.
I read that Fender only made like 5% left-handed vs standard right-handed back then. By the time Dick Dale could even afford one he was already used to playing inverted.
Hendrix at least strung his as a lefty.
