He's the one who adds to the "Good Vibes" (sound familiar?  Roll Eyes) on this board!

Cheers Andrew for all your contributions over the years!

Where would we be without you?

Great knowledge. Always answers mails within 10 minutes anytime a day. The beard looks OK. Don't ban him from the board.

AGD was very helpful back in the 80's for supplying me with cassettes of unreleased BB's stuff that was to give me aural orgasms.

I still have those old cassettes hanging around somewhere so cheers again Andrew.

Wow, I'm late at finding this thread...

but AGD is an awesome fellow.

His website is one of my most frequent stops online. He is a vast human-book of knowledge.

I thought this was the AGD-appreciation thread  Roll Eyes

Andrew might not be totally objective on this one as he was one of the winners of the contest....  Grin

But seriously: if it's appreciated I might try another quiz in the future. But mind you, don't think I'm the Beach Boys guru overhere. It took quite some effort to think of a few tough ones. Then again, a quiz with a larger amount of "easier" questions would certainly help getting more members to join in. Maybe a "joint venture" with another member / honoured guest is a possibility.



O, and I admit voting in favor of shaving the beard...just out of curiousity...

Check out the Beach Boys Starline website, the place for pictures of many countries Beach Boys releases on 45.

If Andrew shaves his beard (and posts a picture to prove it) I'll get my hair cut. Haven't cut it in about a year, so...

Ah, Andrew...a good friend who has also been a fine traveling companion and a double-fine convention guest.  And i agree that he's very funny, but as i've told him more than once, looks aren't everything...
;-)

You are appreciated for many reasons, Andrew, not least of which was your quiet, but quite vehement, support when i was trying to quit smoking.  Thanks.

I feel hono(u)r-bound to join the chorus of appreciation (though I'm not sure why at this particular point in time...did I miss something?). I too was one of the early BB Stomp subscribers who got to know AGD through the now almost forgotten medium of pen and paper - I'd write a few daft questions and he'd reply with several detailed sheets of ochre-coloured A4, sometimes with a tape to keep me happy for the rest of the year. Keeping my interest going during the dark days of the early 1980s was a great achievement, and he was on great form at the Smile gig I saw in London 3 years ago. Keep the beard!

I always enjoy Andrew's contributions and find his site extremely valuable.

Does Andrew have another career? Is he a general author or is everything BB related.

If it's all BB he has a dream job (well deserved) travelling the world researching the topic and attending concerts and conventions.

I would love to see a definitive, comprehensive biography of the Beach Boys (not just Brian, as that has been done or at least attempted) in two volumes done by Andrew.

Are you remembering Mousehole, Suze?  Wink

Ahh yes, we've (Suze, Andrew and I - aka the Three Mouseketeers!) had some good times, out and about, as it were. Travelling around Cornwall (summer 2002), finding our way through Bristol...and spending that very first SMiLE, Feb 2004 evening, together, in London.  Happy Days!

And all the better for their special company.  *Hugs*

You have my vote, too. With a little help from his very good friends, of course  Smiley
