Our article on Dick Dale (August 2013) brought back fond memories for artist Linda Sawaya, of growing up in the Lebanese community of Los Angeles. She sent us this amazing photo: “This photo of the Dick Dale Fan Club was published in the STAR (an Arab American publication in LA). It was made up of mostly Lebanese young girls who were in love with him! I am on the middle right in profile with a big smile and hair in a pony tail! My sister, Vivian, is in the top row, second from right, between Lila Sphier, and Carol Gennaway (Fan Club President). This was probably taken around 1956.” Many thanks to Linda for this wonderful snapshot of music history! See her beautiful artwork at: www.lindasawaya.com
