You Are My Medicine, Part II

Ron tweeted me this link yesterday which I didn't see until this morning. Ed Sullivan hosted Dick Dale in 1963:


I'm no expert on these things but wasn't Dick Dale kind of "hunky"?

I saw Dale play up in San Juan Capistrano last year in 2010 and I wrote about it here. It was a very emotional show and at the time it looked like it might be one of his last. But thankfully, rumors of his demise were greatly exaggerated.

    Note that Dale played a Fender Stratocaster upside down left-handed, years before another better known guitarist did.

    That's his famous guitar "The Beast"! He's used it forever, I understand....like his ancient amps also.

    His ancient Fender amps. Leo Fender was in L.A. at the time helped invent his sound.
