Happy Birthday Dick Dale

Happy birthday, DD!

Although familiar with many of his songs, I'd never really watched him play until viewing the videos posted above. I had no idea he was a lefty playing a right-handed guitar strung for a right-handed player; meaning he was playing it upside down - high E on top. Wow!
 
People throw around the terms: being in the precense of greatness, watching history unfold, a special moment in time, etc.

I've never experience that in person until I saw Dick Dale perform live. I know very little about guitars, but I knew I was standing in front of a master playing his.

Memphis got to celebrate his birthday when he played here last year.

An incredible guitar player and showman.
