His name is Dale Derda. He was from Michigan. Yes, he played guitar, harmonica and a foot cymbal and sang rock and blues music. He was an Army vet so he got some money to go to SMC for a while. His girlfriend was named LeeAnn and she was from SM. They spent a lot of time with me at my parents house.
We were pretty close friends for several years in the mid to late 70's.

Yo its Rex and i know who it is. It is Dale Onemanband. I wonder what ever happened to him. Aside from that, it's great to see all these old pictures that bring back lots of memories.
I was wondering if anyone would remember. He arrived in town as a street musician and a good one at that, playing dobro, or at least bottleneck and singing. But then he settled down and started surfing and hanging with some of the locals. Not the unusual story....
