Sad news. He's had a rough go for many years now. He said he would have retired long ago but had to keep playing to pay the medical bills.
Thanks for all the great tunes, hang loose!

Yes its the passing of an era. RIP Dick Dale.

Yeah, I read somewhere he needed USD 3k a month just to pay for his medications.
