[2]Dick Dale: The Guitar Master is Rocking in the Moment and Having the Time of His Life at 74 Years Young ATL Retro interview, June 10, 2011 "So Jimmy and I mix all these different types of concerts together, but he’s been playing [drums] with Laramie on tour ... They've been doing this for the last couple of years. So Laramie came to me and asked, "Dick, could I please open for you on one of your tours?" Normally I don't do that because I don't get involved with that. It's the agencies and the club owners. They want their own special bands to open for them, and they want a band that plays within a five-mile radius because they have their fans."
