Dick Dale in Brookdale
Last night D and I saw living legend Dick Dale perform at the Brookdale Lodge. This is a once famous resort in the Santa Cruz Mountains that traces its history back to 1890.
I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I'm guessing Dale is self-taught. He's a lefty, and plays a left-handed guitar, but it's strung like a right-handed guitar.
According to imdb, Dale was born in 1937. That makes him 69. Yet, he worked it for about two hours last night. He said he'd recently done 39 shows in 42 days. I hope still have that kind of energy in 2030.
