	Dick Dale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dick Dale (born Richard Anthony Mansour on May 4, 1937, in Quincy, Massachusetts) is a pioneer of surf rock and one of the most influential guitarists of the early 1960s.
		When Dale started surfing he became so fascinated that he began seeking ways of channeling the energy and power of the sport through his guitar playing.
		Since Dale was left-handed he was initially forced to play a right-handed model, much like Jimi Hendrix would do years later.

	Dick Dale
		Dick Dale wasn't nicknamed "King of the Surf Guitar" for nothing: he pretty much invented the style single-handedly, and no matter who copied or expanded upon his blueprint, he remained the fieriest, most technically gifted musician the genre ever produced.
		Dale's pioneering use of Middle Eastern and Eastern European melodies (learned organically through his familial heritage) was among the first in any genre of American popular music, and predated the teaching of such "exotic" scales in guitar-shredder academies by two decades.
		Dick Dale was born Richard Monsour in Boston in 1937; his father was Lebanese, his mother Polish.

		Dale took the stage with his gold-flaked Strat held high as the power trio (guitar, bass and drums) went to their respective slots under thunderous applause.
		Dale's backing musicians were excellent, especially his bass player, who traded licks with Dale during a call-and-response section to prove he had the chops to keep pace with the master.
		Dale was crazy like a fox, fully enjoying the swing of the show, until his ancient Fender amps began to short out, prompting a series of kicks and fiddling with knobs, much to the audience's amusement.

	BBC - h2g2 - Dick Dale - King of the Surf Guitar
		Dale single-handedly inspired an entire genre of music based on his own style of rapid strumming, musical keys and styles that were blends of popular Middle Eastern keys and Country and Western (though it's sometimes hard to hear this influence with modern country music in our ears), and very loud guitars drenched in reverb.
		Dick Dale actually started using lots of reverb to help out his voice; Dale had very little vibrato in his natural singing voice, so he sang with a birdcage microphone through a reverb box and suddenly had tons of vibrato.
		Dick Dale actually recorded his first surf guitar song a couple of months before The Beach Boys recorded their first tracks.

	Dick Dale - PopMatters Concert Review
		When Dick Dale walked onstage, dressed in full fl regalia, complete with fl leather motorcycle jacket and his long fl hair held back by a fl headband, the audience erupted in a long hearty welcome.
		The feedback effects carried notes you might not know exist anywhere in the known universe, and Dale's lightning fast runs are always surprising and unpredictable, but the drummer made your mind anticipate where the notes might go with his fast "1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, 1" steady roll on the toms.
		When Dale had a brush with cancer back in 1966, when things weren't looking so good, that's the situation Hendrix was thinking of when he pronounced, "You'll never hear surf music again." Dale's playing takes an improvisation and goes inside out and comes back out through the other side.

	MetroActive Music \| Dick Dale
		Forty years ago, Dale captured the essence of the surf experience and created a new genre of music that blended the Middle Eastern scales of his Lebanese ancestors and a distinctly American cultural experince.
		Yet Dale, who now lives on a sky ranch in the high desert north of Palm Springs with his wife, son, and a managerie of wildcats, virtually disappeared from the music scene in the early seventies after becoming disillusioned with the corporate rock mentality.
		Now Dale can be heard in all sonic glory on the newly released 2-CD anthology Better Shred Than Dead (Rhino), 44 reverb-drenched surf instrumentals, replete with machine-gun staccato guitar riffs and rumbling bass lines, that illustrate why Musician magazine has acknowledged Dale as one of the 100 greatest guitarists of the 20th century.

		Leo would say, 'Dick, why do you have to play so loud?' Dale would explain that he wanted to create the sound of Gene Krupa the famous jazz drummer that created the sounds of the native dancers in the jungles along with the roar of mother nature's creature's and the roar of the ocean.
		Dale still wanted to go further, and as the crowds increased, Dale's volume increased, but he still wanted a bigger punch with thickness in the sound so that it would pulsate into the audience and leave them breathless.
		As Dale sang in his shows, he found that he did not have a vibrato in his voice, and he did not like the straight flat dry sound.

		Dick hits each note, on time, on cue, and on key up and down that fret board.
		We saw Dick remember that his meter was about to expire halfway through “Smoke on the Water,” and he sashayed out into the middle of Orange Avenue to stick a few quarters into the meter before Mayor Hood's art patrol towed his ‘56 Buick to the Parramore impound lot.

		Dick Dale, for those of you under 30, is the guy who played the theme song from Pulp Fiction, "Misirlou." Even if you can't place that in your mind, once you hear his signature rapid staccato on his electric guitar, you'll recognize him.
		Through the set, Dick and his boys took us into the strange rock and roll milieu that lies halfway between psychedelia and the blues, with the decibels turned up to 11 and more reverb than God talking to Charlton Heston.
		Dick used the drum sticks to bang out the notes on the bass, with Tommy fingering the chords on the fret.

		Surf-guitar inventor Dick Dale says he named this album after what can happen when a pilot who’s enveloped by clouds loses trust in his instruments.
		But Dale’s heady rush of thick notes aims skyward, even on a surf interpretation of "Smoke on the Water," which leaps from Deep Purple’s signature riff to Dale’s trademark flurries of machine-gun picking.
		Not to mention the kind of drum breakdown that’s been the middle of every great beach-party number since the ’50s, when Dale began his career.
