Dick Dale

Whatever you do, don't take shortcuts. It's great advice to take and live by. ”

I told them if were going to do it were going to do it right, I'm not leaving 'til it's done. My wife, child and I slept in the studio. We cut these raw. ”

Every time I do an album, I say, 'That's the last one.' ”

That's what my music does for me. It makes people happy. When I play, I thank the Lord I've never seen someone walk away from a Dick Dale dance not having a good time. That's what it's all about. ”

I'll just tell you the way it is. You ask me what time it is and I'm gonna tell you how to build a clock. ”

Every time I went into the studio some engineer tried to impress me with how they're going to capture my sound with all kinds of tricks. But they limited the sound and never allowed me to play how I felt. ”

I blew amps like they were made of tissue paper. Once I blew out the sound system at Royal Albert Hall in London. ”
