JERRY LEWIS (Extensions of Remarks - April 13, 2000) Page: E589] GPO's PDF HON. JERRY LEWIS OF CALIFORNIA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Thursday, April 13, 2000 * Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. Speaker, today I celebrate the achievements of Dick Dale , a resident of Twentynine Palms, California, in the heart of the 40th district. Better known as the King of Surf Guitar, Dick Dale is a gifted musician who defined a music style in the early 1960s that is still enjoyed by millions of music-lovers the world over. * Surf music, which attempts to capture the feeling of riding the waves on a surfboard, was a uniquely American style of music known as the ``California Sound.'' Along with his group, the Del-Tones, Dale composed and recorded the first surf record, which lit the fuse in 1961 for the national explosion of the surf music craze. He also helped pioneer the development of electronic reverberation and concert-quality amplifiers and speakers. Dale has recorded for NASA, Disneyland, and a multitude of commercials, television shows, and movies. The recipient of countless awards, Dale has been nominated for a Grammy and is enshrined in the Surfing Hall of Fame. * Beyond his musical talent, Dale is an accomplished horseman, exotic animal trainer, surfer, martial arts expert, archer, and pilot. In addition to his recording and performing career, Dale has worked tirelessly to clean up the world's oceans and protect endangered wild animals. He has donated the proceeds of some recordings to the Burn Treatment Center at the University of California. * Dick Dale has not been content to sit back as a legend. This superb musician and innovator is still performing and has won over a whole new generation of fans as well as maintained his legion of long time admirers. He always has time for his devoted fans, often signing autographs and swapping stories for hours after his concerts. Dick Dale is an American original and will forever be the King of Surf Guitar. ------------------------------------------------------------------------

WOW..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There I was....
flying back from london in a British Airways
Jumbo 747-400 Jet Airliner.......
Invited to sit in the cockpit and get a first hand eye ball view
30,000 feet up over my skyranch in 29 Palms, California
and continue straight into Los Angeles Airport
and watched the most greased in
landing by a very professional crew.....
man...what a thrill...
It was like sitting in your living room
watching 4 big TV sets in the panel
just guiding every step of the way as you flew...
the view from that cockpit was
Titanic in every which way shape and form...
Like being in outer space, a wrap around
panasonic view of our gracious earth...
Oh, what we are missing,
makes one feel that he is being punished,
being made to drive on those crowded
smoggy freeways with wacky drivers...........
The three pilots in the cockpit
were so professional along with being
so genuinely friendly,
they made me feel that i was part of the crew
all during my visit...
not to mention the wonderful stewardesses.
Every step of the way,
i was being explained the workings
of the digital equipment in the cockpit
as they flew that big humble bird.
What can i say....
after seeing and experiancing all that,
i will always feel the comfort and safety
flying with the crew of Flight 269 ........
Thank you Captain Rod Brooking,
Andy Hadlow SFO
and Geoff Doling SFO for giving me
a very special day never to forget in my life....
Dick Dale
(the little plane pilot)
===============================
Rockin at the Royal Festival Hall in London......
what more could one ask for...
we were there...they were there...
standing and shouting and screaming.....
what a rush, such a rush i ran off stage
playing the beast all the way up into the audience,
kissed the girls and made them cry.....
what a fun time....
I will be back John Peel.....
thanks for having me,
you are a good friend....

and created some real neat songs for John
to play on his show.....

being with pros in
the BBC studio.....

The Associated Press:
"Did you ever play a pinball machine and see the ball get stuck in there and go bam-bam-bam-bam-bam-bam? It just threw my body back and forth as I ran down the hallway" Dick Dale said from his home 30 miles from the epicenter. |

Big QUAKE rocks Dick Dale's SkyRanch
On Saturday morning at 2:46am a 7.0 quake rocked the
desert approximately 30 miles northwest of Dick Dale's
SkyRanch.
Little Jimmy (slept through the whole thing...ha)
Outside of a few bruises and broken stuff, I am still alive, made it on
CNN and ABC channel 7 and national news and everyone else that
came down to interview me... I was slammed against the hallway like
a rag doll back and forth trying to get to my family.
I was helpless to move as I was trying to get down the hallway....
.....unreal, now, if we would only stop disturbing the earth's structure
with nuclear testing....
Thanks everyone for caring... Dick
