Just heard The Father of Loud has fallen asleep until the last trumpet. I’m sure he will judged favorably for all the positivity his music spread throughout the world. Αιώνια η μνήμη! вечная память! Memory Eternal!

I saw Dick Dale twice, and spoke to him once after his show. What struck me was that he was very down-to-earth. He enjoyed interacting with his fans, and I think he fed off of it.

I handed him a copy of our CD and he took it, and said they like to listen to new stuff in the van on the road. He had a positive energy and encouraged musicians to keep playing.

A true entertainer, innovator and inspiration to so many. He will truly be missed.

I watched Dick Dale play on the pier in Santa Monica. He was amazing. I don't know for sure, but I think he might have been in pain a lot while traveling, but he pretty much kept playing shows as long as he could. I hope he is in a better place now. I asked him once about his tone and he wrote me this very technical and detailed answer; I'll look for that and share it later in case you guys are interested. God bless Dick Dale.

I feel sad for Dick Dale's family but man 82 years is a long run.
I'm choosing to celebrate Dick Dale's life and play some surf guitar.
He did a lot!

Just returned from 6 days in Baja. Little or no Wi-Fi and it was nice to be away from social media for almost a week! However, I did see the announcement of the passing of Dick Dale. I would often poke fun at his quirky personality but I am convinced that without him and that very confident demeanor that surf music, as we know it, would not exist. A true pioneer in the genre and probably never getting the proper respect he deserves.

I’m covering for a DJ today at KCR – www.kcrlive.com – from 10 am – 2pm PDT. I’ll be playing lots of my “NON-instrumental” favorites (with actual singing!) Then I’m doing my regular “Instros Only” show from 2-4pm. So I'm on air from 10am - 4pm PDT.

I’ll be playing numerous Dick Dale songs during both shows. So listen in… should be fun!

Not much to add. I'm sorry that I missed seeing him the last time he came through town.

RIP Dick Dale

Remembering Dick Dale, who died on this date one year ago. I took this photo on his yacht, anchored in Newport Beach back in November, 2007. Stan Ross (who died in March, 2011), co-owner of Goldstar Studios, asked me to have this guitar signed by Dick. The guitar was a donation to Stan's grandson's (if I recall the relationship correctly) school in Orange County for a benefit they were having.

Dick Dale: gone but never forgotten.
