Hi everybody, and Happy Friday!
Mike suggested I stop in here and introduce myself. Some of you may already know me - along with my friend Chuck ("no relation") Kelley, I hosted a weekly BW/BBs program on LuxuriaMusic.com for many years on Saturdays. We were in the right place at the right time in the early 2000s - we were able to lend a promotional hand when Brian returned to touring, and he and his folks (bless you, Jean Sievers!) put us together with Brian and co. for interviews and so forth.
I got turned on to the 'Boys in a serious way in early high school (1971), initiated by a new pal who'd been a fan since 1963. He took me to their second stand at Carnegie Hall (in support of "Surf's Up") - sitting in the 4th row, no less - and my mind was totally blown. They played the entire LP that night save for "Til I Die" and "A Day In The Life Of A Tree". Nothing pre-Pet Sounds was played until the encores. A life-changing experience!
I came aboard here to once again get into the Desper Study Videos - so glad they're available once again. THANK YOU, STEVE!! I really feel that Steve is the unsung hero of this era of the 'Boys - I only wish I'd known back then that HE was the guy at the soundboard at their concerts!! I would have chatted him up in a big way - as a budding recording engineer and synthesizer player, I would have LOVED to get into all of the minutae with him (and still would today)!
Looking forward to spending more time on this board. Cheers, everybody!
