One of the greatest guitarists of all time, and one of the pioneers of electric guitar!
I have seen him perform live, 3 times! One of my favorite live performances.
One of the key pieces of my music/memorabilia collection is a D ick Dale show poster print! 5/85 limited edition. I was at that show, but did not get the print there. Several years later the print showed up in a small shop downtown. I wanted it, but I didn't want to pay the $50 for it. At some point the wife and I split up to go to different shops down the same street, and she went back and bought it for me! It has now been framed and hangs at the entry to my (future) home theater.
