I first met Dick Dale back in 2009, and became a steady follower of his. Dick has inspired me to play guitar, and I have not looked back since then. I used to attend his concerts whenever I got the chance, and hung out with him backstage. One time in 2014, I met him down in Huntington Beach, CA and showed him my '65 Corvair Monza convertible. I'm absolutely torn over losing the King of the Surf Guitar. R.I.P. Dick Dale
