Re: [SurfGuitar101] The Wedge & Dick Dale factoid

DP (noetical1) - 07 Oct 2005 16:16:33

Dick's old pad at The Wedge (The Newport Harbor Jetty) was
a turn-of-the-century Spanish/California/Colonial style
masterpiece: "The Gillette Mansion". (Named after
safety-razor tycoon Gillette)...
In th 80s, Dick had his DD motorhome, his Jaguar XJS, and
his big-ass black Lincoln Town Car all parked in the
driveway...
Everytime we walked by with our boogieboards we'd yell
"DICK!" and hope that he'd poke his head out or
something...he never did.
