I was overjoyed to see this. Dick Dale was a big part of my teenage years. I and a group of friends traveled around Southern California to be a part of his world. The Rendezvous Ballroom in Newport Beach was our favorite. But he also playing in Los Angeles at various sites and in Riverside. In 1961 at one Rendezvous Friday night performance, there was no room - the kids were stuffed in so tight. I remember something like 2,000 people + all doing the Surfers Stomp in unison. Electric!

My dad played guitar the same way (left-handed, strung like a righty). Dick Dale is one of the best live shows I've ever seen, he's amazing. And what a cool guy, too - after his show he just sat on the edge of the stage and met everyone who wanted to come say hello. Great handshake, very warm guy.

despite the fact that he's playing a lefty guitar he still has it strung upside down..

he must have learned on a righty of course and when leftys where more available he just stuck with that stringing method,fuck it ,if its not broke don't fix it...

i always thought that lefty players switched their strings ? his playing is nuts

[kleinebudde]

How cool it would be to share musical taste with your son and play with him :)

ive seen him live in my hometown bielefeld in germany in 2004. only like 100 people in the crowd but it was the best show ive EVER been too.

great performer. he even played trumpet on the show. flirted with 40 years younger girls in the crowd. hit the bass players strings with drumsticks. awesome guy.
