damn..."the road of pain" ...

much respect to Mr Dale...

we look forward to seeing and hearing you soon.

Any new news on how Dick is doing?

Dick goes back in for reconstructive surgery on the 5th. I got a short note from him and his spirit is strong as ever...he said "I'll be back..the gophers are not going to be delivering my mail"

he said "I'll be back..the gophers are not going to be delivering my mail"

That's funny. I'm happy for him

I don't think any guitarist has had as much skill as Dick.

I also like to think that all early 60's fender equipment is happy to be playing surf music again. After all, its the music it was meant to play.

Skill is definitely the wrong word. 'Will' may be a proper word to describe how Dick played.

Skill? Will? Don't care. I'm just glad to hear that he's on the mend. Colon cancer is no laughing matter but he's set to beat it for the second time. What a guy!

Best wishes D.D. I hope that you're out there playing when your 142 and I wouldn't bet against it.

but for a dream concert take your top 5 surf bands and add Dick Dale to the show...who do you think the audience will remember,,hmmm... Twisted Evil

Probably the other 5 bands. I can think of several bands that would school what Dick is doing live presently. Anybody who has seen the DVDs of the Surf Coasters and Bambi Molesters could attest to this. Pilgrims drew some raucous crowds as well. While the audience could have promptly forgotten those shows I highly doubt that.

Not to slight Dick's earlier output which I think is amazing, but live Dick just isn't at the same level as some of the other surf acts. To a lay audience member, do you think they are going to remember Shigeo going over the top of the fretboard on Misirlou or Dick playing a fragmented Misirlou?

DD actually does play all of Misirlou live, at least when I saw him. Anyway, this thread isn't the place to debate his merits or place in history, it is to get health updates.

so, how did Mr Dale's latest round of surgery go? Did he make it over to Hawaii yet?

The last I heard it had been delayed.

he was at the surf museum today, and during the surf rockers set,
hey Came up behind the drummer, his Original drummer from back in the
60's he said, and played tribal drums along with him for the drum solo.

later Sun nite. I was talking to Sam, at the 3 balls of fire show him and Dusty played with Mike Vernon, and he said hes still waiting for one last surgery to make the back door work so to speak.
and get him off the bag.
nice image huh?

good thing he didn't burst the bag during the drum solo.

It's good to see him looking so well. You just gotta love the guy.

I didn't really get to see him walk, but he looked in great health. He didn't look cancer skinny, but fit.

Awesome, I'm glad to see him like this. Thanks Marty (?), and nice job on the video.
