    He was touring heavily these past few years, sorry I missed him...

    R.I.P., Dick Dale. I read that he toured so relentlessly the last decade due to the $3,000. a month costs to treat his serious medical issues, even with medical insurance. I imagine that it would've been much easier for him to just kick back and relax but he decided to go out fighting. A very brave man.

    Damn..  R.I.P. Mr. Dale, a true legend.

    (Maybe put this kind of thread in "Other Music" next time.)
    “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
    Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.
