Hello! My name is Jon Hunt and I used to, with my pal John Lane, run a board called the Smile Shop which was pretty cool in it’s time. I’m so glad this place seems to be respectful and not fighty.!

Hi Jon and welcome! We are very happy to have you join us. Yes, our forum was started as an answer to the issues at Smiley Smile. Many of us are Beach Boys fans who were banned from sharing our fandom there, so we started our own place where friendliness and respect is practiced everyday.
Anyway, it’s great to have the original creator of the Smile Shop in our forum. Enjoy!

Wow, I spent hours lurking at Smile Shop, thanks for such a great site, Jon!
I recall reading articles or posts from amazing dudes called Michael Careen or Cameron Matt - I wonder where they are these days?
Welcome aboard, enjoy the tranquility!

Welcome Jon, the Smile Shop redefined my Beach Boys world and I’m sure helped put us all on the path that ultimately brought us BWPS and TSS. Hope you enjoy this place as much as I savoured yours.

Welcome, Jon. My internet experience doesn't go back as far as the Smile Shop, but have heard of it.
Must have seen something archived somewhere...
One thing I know for sure - Endless Harmony Forum is the Friendsliest message board you'll find. You
are now entering the right place to discuss The Beach Boys. Lotta smart people around here.

Well goddammit if that's not a name that's a huge blast from the past ! Jon is being unduly modest: for those who don't know - and shame on you - in its day the Smile Shop was the bee's knees, the cat's pyjama's and, (if you lived in Britain) definitely the dog's bollocks. An utterly legendary forum, and much lamented. Great to have you here sirrah.

I always thought it was "the cat's whiskers" or "the cat's meow". And I'm sure you've heard "close enough for government work" or......"closer than a gnat's ass".

What the...? Has Hell froze over? I asked nicely, like you said. Looking back on those Smile Shop days, it's interesting just how much we won. Big box of sessions and a finished version signed off on by Wilson and Parks. I mean, Prelude To Fade has been performed on The Tonight Show! All that stuff would have seemed insane back in those days.
