DICK DALE 102317 - LANCASTER STREET

Uploaded .

97

I saw him live in Dallas about a year before he died. He was sooo good.

His sweet wife sat stage right and frequently he would go over and kiss her. His playing and showmanship were tops and he was like in my living room sharing the things he enjoyed most in our collective life. He told about his Dr. predicting it would kill him and there were moments he was stressing sufficient to bring it on. Especially when he played the sax.

Dick Dale’s gonna die on stage
He’s gonna die in the middle of a song.

LOVE THIS!! Just listened. I'll bet Dale would love it too, He passed in 2019, I just read in wiki, at the age of 85. Your comparison to his doctore may have been apt: He beat colon cancer twice and lived on another eleven years. And he left us his amazing music! - Gwyn Henry
