KZOK’s Scott Vanderpool was lucky enough to pick the brain of legendary surf guitarist Dick Dale this month to coincide with a string of shows here in Western Washington (Tacoma, Seattle and Bellingham). The three-part interview features everything from Dale’s strict health habits to what life on the road is like in Europe at the ripe age of 75. The session also features these classic surf anthems written by Dale:

-”The Victor”
-”Misirlou”
-”Shake ‘n’ Stomp”
-”Hava Nagila”
