Today is Dale’s birthday and I can’t think of a better way for you all to be a part of the celebration than by giving you the chance to watch a video clip of his band.
Happy Birthday, Dale! I love you. And I’m pretty sure all my readers do, too.

BogMom Said,
Hi Carole,
First..let me say~Those socks are beautiful…you are gifted! I wanted to comment on your “100 things about you”~I hope this is the correct forum to do it under? Our husbands were in scouts together many years ago (Billy S.-Dale will know ) and spoke for a few minutes last night at the Plymouth concert..which was terrific for those of you who have not heard Carole’s husband’s band…you must catch Dale and The Duds sometime!Anyway….I mentioned I saw your website and thought you HAD to be from Brockton..Cape Cod Cafe Pizza-well…you haven’t had pizza unless you’ve has theirs!My favorite as well. Also…graduating from such a large class..I was right-he told me you graduated from BHS. I am from Brockton(although now I am a hick from the bogs of Plympton! I love it!)and a bit older than you (I graduated in 77)and thought how wonderful to see some of your 100 things…the Cod Pizza,Brockton High, Wearing your husbands flannel shirts(me,too~well…MY husband’s shirts: ) ),etc…I just wanted to say hello. I grew up on Auburn St.(South side)and went to the Gilmore School and South Jr. High. I meant to ask Dale your maiden name~mine is Sabine. Dale may know my brother Marc…he still works for Shaw’s(started at the BPM) and also had a band years ago for a brief time called “The Forgotten” I loved when they practiced in our attic as a kid! I have enjoyed reading your stuff here…I stumbled upon it while looking for the start time of the Plymouth Concert…I may meet you sometime as I visit the library you work at…I’ll be sure to say hi! By the Way..do you sell those socks? Have you tried dying with cranberries? (we have a little bog here in Plympton)Have a nice day!
~Kristie Said,
Happy Belated Birthday Dale! It was too fun watching you sing with your band.
Thanks Carole for sharing.
maryse Said,
happy belated birthday dale!!!
Brooke Flammang Said,
Hello!
I saw Dale and the Dudes play at my (now) fiance’s conference a couple of years ago, and they were amazing! I would really like to hire them to play at my wedding ceremony next June.
Carole – if you could contact me at bflammang@gmail.com, and let me know how I can arrange this – i would REALLY appreciate it!
Best,
Brooke
