Dick Dale

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.

I can play every instrument there is, every horn, I've played all the saxes and trumpets and everything and keyboards.

I like to say, 'I hit every type of music in a show, and I play the people, not the instruments.'

Most reporters who come to me get their stories directly from press releases. Very few do what one would consider to be their professional duty.

I don't like to get in front of people.

I don't write constantly; it's two serials and a novel a year.
