RIP, Dick Dale


Dick Dale, the legendary king of surf guitar, died this past weekend at 81. Here's an obit. And below are the opening scene and opening credits from "Pulp Fiction," which introduced him to a new generation of fans of his unique guitar music. We saw him a couple of times, most recently in 2016; here's that write-up.

He was a true pioneer and an electrifying performer.





And here's a recent live show in L.A. Check out "Amazing Grace" at the hour-ten mark.
