Anyone read this book about the history of the electric guitar?
I'm about halfway through and really enjoying it. Just got through the part where Dick Dale blew out Leo Fender's eardrum by playing as Leo was listening to the Showman amp he'd just built for him... ear pressed right up against it, with the amp turned up to max volume, as he was trying to troubleshoot a problem. Yikes.
