The Jon Stebbins Thread
Charles LePage @ ComicList:
Jon, does the book address any possibility of David working with the Beach Boys again?
And is there any possibility of Dennis Wilson: The Real Beach Boy being in print again?

Yeah, I'd like to know that, too. I ordered the book twice or three times through amazon and they could never send one...

Hi Jon, Jason Penick here. I met you at the Dennis Wilson bash at Chez Jay. I was wondering what the status was regarding a remixed re-issue of Pacific Ocean Blue, and if a Dennis Wilson box set has been proposed or is in the works. Everybody really wants to hear "Wouldn't It Be Nice/ To Live Again". :police:
Hey Jason,
I wish I had an answer for this one. I'm completely out of that loop, if there is such a loop. It seems like even the guys who are in the loop, are wondering the same thing. You might direct this one to the Alan Boyd thread...he's put some effort into making things happen in the past. I just don't know what to say...WIBNTLA is a great, great song...I think we'll see it on something someday. Sheesh...that's pretty vague eh? Maybe this year we'll get some real asnwers on these things...I hope.

And i'm wondering all that, plus this: How's the Chez Jay book coming?
Hey Susan,
The Chez Jay's book has been on and off so many times...it's kind of like my Smile...I hope it ends as nicely. The short answer is... that project needs to be fully backed before I can spend more time and effort to complete it. Much of it is done...but it needs more support to reach a published state. We've been through three agents, two publishers who backed out, another publisher who sat on it for 10 months and backed out, and several proposals, and re-writes. At times I'm really postive about it, and at times I just want to bury it forever. Sometimes adversity can lead to great things...I know the book will be great when it finally surfaces...but who knows when that will be? Not me. When things like the Dennis book, and Dave's book go so smoothly, and are supported so well, it makes something like the Chez Jay's book all the more frustrating.

Well, in a way it does. It explains that Dave has the unique ability to remain connected in a friendly way to all the living BB's. He sat in with Mike and Bruce a couple of times this past December. He's also played some recent gigs with Al...one this past weekend in Alaska...and more later this year. He's also very friendly with Brian. I don't think any of the others, well maybe Bruce, have the bridges intact...but Dave does. It would not surprise me if Dave ended up working with any and all combinations of BB's.

There's a great possibility of that happening. I own all the rights to the book, print rights, ancillary rights...everything is 100% mine. This gives me the ability to revise, expand and re-publish the book on my own terms. I have a partner who I'm in the process of working towards this goal with. If everything falls into place...you might see a 350 page version of "The Real Beach Boy" with lots of new material. Nothing is solid yet...but if it does solidify I'll make an announcement here.
