I have a Dick Dale Pandora channel. It always amazed me how many people who are self proclaimed music buffs have never heard of Dick Dale. Granted he wasn't mainstream but he was a major influencer in the music world.

RIP

Saw him in 2017 at The Surf Ballroom. Great show!

One of the bands I was in played a "Surf Set" with a medley of the classics like Pipeline, Wipe Out and Miserlou. At the end, we would all stop except for the guitar player who let the last note sustain and build into feedback and at the crescendo we would break into Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix.
