Dick Dale invented surf music in the 1950's. Not the '60's as is commonly believed. He was given the title "King of the Surf Guitar" by his fellow surfers with whom he surfed with from sun-up to sun-down.

When Dale met the guitar and amplifier guru Leo Fender, he asked Dale to play his new creation, the Fender Stratocaster Electric Guitar. The minute Dale picked up the guitar, Leo broke into uncontrolled laughter with disbelief; he was watching Dale play a right-handed guitar upside down and backwards, Dale was playing a right-handed guitar left-handed and changing the chords in his head, then transposing the chords to his hands creating a never before heard sound.

If you're like us, then you're ready for the grey Winter clouds and sniffled weather to blow out, so you can get Spring started up.

In preparation for those sun-soaked days, we asked ourselves a few questions...then we answered them. Perhaps you have the same answers?

When is the First Day of Spring?
Saint Patrick's Day.

Where would you celebrate Saint Patrick's Day?
In the parking lot of an Irish Pub, surrounded by green revelers and food trucks.

How would you celebrate it?
With live music...and with high-fives.

Do you like free parties?
Yep.

What we're saying is; the Fort Worth Weekly has you covered with this year's Saint Patrick's Day MADNESS. A FREE Two-Day Party featuring 11 local acts on a killer outdoor stage erected in the Poag Mahone's parking lot, smack in the heart of the 7th Street Arts District!
