Dick Dale - The King of the Surf Guitar.
Seventy years old this year, Dick Dale is the Grandfather of the surf guitar sound. Playing a left handed signature Stratocaster strung for a right hander with ridiculously heavy strings (Dale's string sizes are 16p, 18p, 20p. 38w, 48w, 58w...they use to be 39w, 49w, 60w.....he says he's getting lazy now) through two Fender Dual Showmans Dick is LOUD and RAW!
"The Beast"
Dick plays "Nitro"

"Rebel Rouser" made me want to play sax! (I still do)
But when I saw THIS cover I was converted to guitar
(and I never realized before that the one on the left is a Danelectro!!}

great to see Duane Eddies name here . His " Rebel Rouser" hooked me into wanting to play guitar when about 8 years old!

Link; Duane; even Albion's master of the whammy wobble, Hank - they all deserve an honourable mention.

Dick is one tough dude. He keeps a Siberian tiger as a pet! (btw he always refers to himself in the third person and calls his fans,ummm.......... the Dickheads)
