The first time I heard about Dick Dale was when my friend John in LA, through means that would take longer than this blog to explain, awarded him the UC-Berkeley Pop Culture Lifetime Achievement award. (Also winning that year were Mick Fleetwood and Ice-T.) Two years later, the use of his song "Misirlou" during the opening credits of Pulp Fiction brought him back to the masses.
Here he's performing it in A Swingin' Affair, which turns out to be Teri Garr's first movie. But never mind her - check this out...
I think it's great that they built the whole band around the bass player like that.
