A man of many hats - documentary maker, archivist (and not just at BRI), composer, producer, musician, singer and most of all, one of the flat out nicest people I know of, in the BB cosmos or anywhere else. He did this for a Beach Boys Britain gathering a few decades ago.

Erm, am I hearing BW’s voice in the closing 30 seconds or just a damn good impersonation?! Happy birthday, Mr Boyd, please keep on fighting the good fight – and thank you. |

Nope, an entirely Brian-free product.

Happy Natal Day to Alan! And a deepfelt "thank you" for all the work you're doing to preserve The Beach Boys' true legacy -- their music.

This is the AB track for me. "Channel Surfing" also closes the brilliant BB tribute album Warmth of the Sun: Songs Inspired by The Beach Boys:

Can somebody here tell me whether or not Mark Linett is still working with Alan Boyd on these BB archival releases, or have they parted ways in recent years? Thanks in advance.

As I posted on AGD's FB page, there are few shining lights in this world. Alan is surely one of them.

Alan is perhaps the greatest hero of them all when it comes to this band; he has devoted so much time and sacrificed so much of himself to protect, reveal, and preserve this great music. He has constantly faced supernumerary streams of music industry weirdness, Hollywood weirdness, weirdo musician types, and of course, our beloved ur-weirdos the Beach Boys themselves and is somehow still standing and still advocating for the music. This fellow deserves extraordinarily robust birthday wishes from those of us who owe him a lot (which is all of us). His love for the music per se is a tremendous force for good in a world where music is commoditized and where the people making the music get more attention than the music itself.

Happy (belated) birthday to one of the good guys, this crazy band needs more people like Alan Boyd around!
