In mourning for Dick Dale & his fabulous surf guitar until further notice. Grew up rockin’ out to Dick Dale. Even as a clueless little kid, I recognised his amazing skill

I missed the surf guitar era – I was too young. But Mr. Dale was an interesting guy: one of the other online obits I’ve seen (and can’t find now) states he practiced martial arts for 30 years. Not only that, but he used his martial arts practice as a tool to deal with the pain he suffered from multiple chronic illnesses.
How about a musical interlude?
