statement from Al Jardine
Dick Dale was an innovator. He helped Leo Fender develop a Fender amplifier with an 11 setting...lol. Carl and I enjoyed playing Misirlou, Let's Go Trippin' and other classics early in our career when we didn't have enough songs to fill out a set. We played the Rendezvous Ballroom where Dick created the iconic surf sound that helped jump start our career . "We'll do the Surfer Stomp, it's the latest dance craze." RIP Dick, you'll ALWAYS be the King of the Surf Guitar
