The Carrie Marks Thread
Carrie Marks:
Yeah, Jon...you are correct. I forgot all about that in spite of mentioning the home movies in the post about Kip Brown. I was thinking more along the lines of that Pickwick thing surfacing or something like that...but it is great footage taken by Elmer Marks. It just may be the first video of Al Jardine in the Beach Boys....isn't it?
I'm not able to visualize the Endless Harmony footage, but I do think they're wearing the yellow shirts in Elmer's footage - Mike is doing is goofy dance moves - big surprise! It must be the same footage. The movies also include the shots of them on the Beach in Hawaii which, I believe, was in the American Band doc. These home movies have been circulating as a boot for at least 20 years now, so if you look hard enough, you might find someone willing to sell or trade you a really bad quality dub.
Carrie Marks:
Malc: I have never seen any video of the Marksmen or the Moon. Have I, Jon? No, I'm sure I haven't...would love to, though. Oh wait...why do I keep forgetting those home movies? There is footage of the Marksmen, but not playing, unfortunately. On the same reel as the Hawaii trip, there is footage of David and the Marksmen dressing up in costumes and acting out little skits.
There will be a full Marksmen release in time for the book. I mentioned this earlier - I'm waiting for an answer from Sundazed about whether or not they want to release it...which, the longer I go without a YES, leads me to believe is a NO. If I don't get a response soon, then I'll just put the 14 tracks together and release it on David's label; I'd prefer Sundazed to do it since they have the distribution and would handle things I wouldn't have to, like artwork, however, these tracks are too good to remain in the vaults, so to speak.
Work Tapes - ya know, I love the vocals on that CD...I think they are probably the best of anything released by David to date (not including his upcoming release) However, as a general rule, MIDI drums just irk me...sorry. After adding Bamboo Shack to his live shows 2 years ago, he decided to re-record it for his new CD...with a live drummer.
I was testing out a MySpace page for David for his new CD...it doesn't have the final versions of his tracks so I haven't announced it's up, however you can get a pretty good idea where he's going with it. The new version of Bamboo Shack is currently posted as well as a few others and an alt. take of Sheriff of Noddingham.

Susan:
What? No mention of My Dad's Truck as band members?
;-)
The page looks good, Carrie. When is the new album looking like being released, any idea yet?
Surfer Joe:
Maybe we should start an e-mail campaign with Sundazed to get the Marksmen CD released- or maybe someone here knows how to get a petition page going.
Rocker:
I'm just listening to his songs on myspace.com and I think he would've been a great songwriting addition to the BBs, if he had stayed with them in Brian's "lost" years. In fact I heard Mike asked him to return in the early 70s during "Surf's Up" (album). Wonder if Bruce must have gone if David came back.
