Dick Dale is Amazing

What a show!

Dick Dale told stories, explained how to properly use a microphone, played around, and, most importantly, melted our faces!

It was great to see the King of the Surf Guitar still having fun and genuinely enjoying himself while playing songs he made famous all those years ago.

Besides his guitar, he played drums, sang, shouted, played the bass with drumsticks during the show. Unfortunately, the keyboard was not plugged in so he couldn’t play the “piano”, but that didn’t keep him from trying!

The man’s 79. He let us know that a few times…
