Dick Dale, RIP

Not unexpected, nor a lot to say.  Article at the BBC.

I'll miss his songs of enthusiasm, of the early space race days.  It was an honor to have seen him play several times however, and at least we still have his recordings.  He left an unmatched legacy in founding a genre within rock music.  That is something.  Hope his family is holding up.

ps: posts on seeing Dale et al play New Orleans in 2012 and 2013.
