I posted this in the thread Covers, uncovers, and remakes. It's about one of Dale's most famous hits, and the story behind it.

Folks who aren't guitarists might not notice this. Dick Dale played left-handed. He used custom-made left-handed guitars, but they were strung RIGHT HANDED, so basically he was playing a right handed guitar upside down.

One of the best. RIP
