Hal Blaine, drummer for the Wrecking Crew, has died at the age of 90.

Plays on some of the greatest music ever recorded.

Hal Blaine, Wrecking Crew Drummer and Rock Hall of Fame Member, Dies at 90

Hal Blaine was first to have a drum kit consist of rows of toms - e.g. before Neil Peart or Alex Van Halen.

Richard Anthony Monsour (a.k.a. Dick Dale) (May 4, 1937 – March 16, 2019)

Dick Dale, King of Surf Guitar, ‘Miserlou’ composer, is dead

Very sad to hear this. He was one of my top ten favorite electric guitarists and a big influence on me as an amateur guitar player.
I got to see him seven times over the years and he always put on a great show and seemed to have a genuine love for his fans. He would stick around after every show and chat with fans, pose for pictures, and sign autographs for everybody that wanted one and not leave until everyone that wanted to speak with him had gotten their turn.

I last saw him play a show in 2017 at The Middle East Downstairs in Cambridge, MA. I had always wanted to record some video of Dick and his band and got the chance that night.
Here is the YouTube playlist for the videos for anyone interested...
