Dick Dale is the man! Not too many people out there who can say they invented a genre of music still being played 50+ yrs later... knew and worked closely with Leo Fender... and invented the first 100W amp together with Leo Fender... and played a right handed guitar without inverting the strings... (add acknowledgements at will)
I only wanna hear Dick Dale on the radio today. Why are they not paying him the homage he deserves? I bet there are hundreds of top groups inspired by him.
