My afternoon with the later day Beach boys

[donald]

After a bad week with the job and kids and etc......I went out to the garage with a selection of BB music.  Backed the old Chevy out into the driveway and put on some music.  Love You, disc 4 from the box, Paley Sessions, and Lucky Old Sun.   Magic.   As I worked alone, polishing the car, taking note of long ignored facets, enjoying a particularly nice day, and a forbidden Central American cigar...and a few beers, I began to relax and appreciate this music.  Again.

We have been treated to a 25 year run of the beach boys.........and nearly a 25 year grand finally.   The released and unreleased Paley material, the flood of boots, the twofers, the Scott Toten led bruce/mikeBBBand, Lucky Old Sun, SMiLE, Wondermints, The box sets, Hawthorne, Endless Harmony, PS live, and a regular set of live performances.   Like a fireworks show that continues to wow!........after you think the fireworks are over...........

just wanted to share my fascination and awe with some folks who might understand.

I, for one, certainly understand! 

Out of curiosity, what model is your "old Chevy"?

[donald]

64 convertible, Impala, non supersport, black with saddle interior, 283, powerglide.  Stock except for tasteful use of corvette rally wheels on uniroyal tigerpaws

Nice to know that there are still some '64 Impalas that have not become lowriders! And rally wheels are always a nice addition to any sixties Chevy 


I've been thinking of starting a car thread in the Sandbox, but I'm not sure many members would be interested...

I would...

Maybe Jon Stebbins would join in such a discussion.  I seem to recall him expressing an interest in classic chevys etc.

Amen.  That's been some of my best times a la Beach boys.  In the garage, anything by Brian and the Boys on and workin on the auto.
