I loved that music when I was a kid and most of what you heard of it on the radio was The Ventures and The Surfaris, I don't think Dale made as big a commercial splash back then but listening to him now he really was the KOTSG. |

But then a certain influential Film Director brought him to wider attention over here... Also a lot of 'younger' bands have absorbed influences from surf and spaghetti western music... |

Bernie Torme (Ozzy Osbourne, Gillan and others) died as well. Metal players up there will welcome him with open arms. |
