Hi, everyone
Very long time lurker, finally getting around to sharing thoughts, etc. I live on the East of Georgia(Savannah). I first became enamored with with the group around 1980 or so, when I would play my brother's 8 track copy of Endless Summer endlessly. Over the years I've been to about 20 shows all together. While each had their moments, highlights for me include the 2000 Radio City Tribute show, the 2012 reunion show in Atlanta (including the VIP access package), and the 2008 Lucky Old Sun show in DC, where I was able to spend about half an hour backstage (before and after the show).
I'm part of the old school gang that perused every issue of Goldmine and Billboard for any news on the boys, always hoping that I would be able to witness the group return to prominence. For this year, I'm hoping to attend the March 2nd show in St. Augustine, which will probably be my last show.
I look forward to talking to everyone about this crazy bunch of folks we love called The Beach Boys.
Thanks!
Chuck

Welcome to the EH Forum. Took me a long while before I finally decided to join here as well. Was curious to know...what would you say are your favorite BB albums?

Welcome, Chuck. Beautiful area of the country you live in. I'm from the South, too. Monroe, Louisiana - up in the Northeastern part. Too hot and humid, so haven't lived there since 1978.
Look around, enjoy your time here.

Chuck, I'm also from the old school gang that subscribed to Goldmine and Discoveries and ICE back in the day, and you could find me in the magazine/book rack at Tower or other book stores looking for articles on The Boys. I think you'll like it here, Chuck. Welcome to the EH Forum. - Mike
