Dick Dale surfs off aged 81

[Pupp]

Sad to see the Beeb reporting the passing of DD over the weekend.

Not a bad age and had long had health issues apparentĺy but a true character and innovator lost. Always enjoyed that manic sound and look...

RIP (a gnarly curl) dude

[Supercilious Sid]

No-one mentioned his lion taming or melted plectrums on the report this morning. Was my best gig ever seeing him at the South Bank (supported by the Fall and Terry Edwards)
