I have the CD "King Of The Surf Guitar", bought it the day before my wedding. 6 1/2 years ago when I knew little of his music.

I still have that sweet wife and that sweet CD ;o)#

@Keijz74. If you chose your wife as well as your music you'll be set for life!

I'm 64, and I watched Beach Party 3 times in the same afternoon, to see who that guitar player was, and how did he do that? I've seen Dick about 20 times, and will again, if he's anywhere near where I am at the time. NOBODY fills a room with music, like Dick Dale!

DD, altho a home-grown, dyed-in-the-wool Calif. Surfer & Ace strat-man .. actually had Lebanese / Middle-East ancestry. & boy, how those musical roots show in his great guitar + melody-work much of the time. Another great track from The Master-Blaster of the Surf Guitar here. I noticed how when DD moved into the year 1964, his records seemed better in melody ; he seems to emphasise things like castanets more, in back ; and that light background 'aaahhh' style vocal added extra value too ....

Thanks colin for the great comments. Yes. a richly-layered tune.

Can't read Master-Blaster without thinking of Mad Max III...
