Glad you are enjoying the song, Margaret!  Yes, the CD is still on track for next month...he's working on some last minute mixing and editing right now so it should be finished very soon.

Are there any plans to play Las Vegas?

[Paulos]

Hello Carrie, with all the SMiLE madness going on I haven't forgotten that David was supposed to have a new album out but so far nada, any update on The Circle Continues??

[Carrie Marks]

Hi Paulos,

Good memory.  This project has had a few false starts so I don't want to say too much. However, we are actively working on finalizing a release date right now so I hope to be able to announce something soon. 

[Paulos]

Thanks for the reply Carrie and I will await your announcement with the patience us Beach Boys fans are known for!

Here's an update on something we're working on to help raise money for the Hawthorne Historical Society....hope to see lots of people at this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go back in time to learn authentic Beach Boys guitar in the Hawthorne HS music room.

David is partnering with the newly-formed Hawthorne Historical Society to promote that local 1960's guitar sound as a legitimate part of the city's history and culture.  He feels like the authenticity of their original guitar sound got lost a bit as the Beach Boys evolved into a more vocal-oriented band and he wants to get back to the original style and techniques they came up with as kids. This is his way of honoring Carl and John's memory and its the historical society's way to preserve their history, so its a great partnership.

As part of the "Good Neighbors Day" event on July 16th, David will be conducting a full-day guitar clinic in the Hawthorne High music room where he will demonstrate chord progressions, authentic rhythm techniques & lead figures as they were originally recorded...participants are encouraged to bring their (unplugged) electric guitars to play along so they can get a better feel for the parts.  Or, you can just observe.  He will hit 3 areas...surf & car songs, ballads and instrumentals.

That evening, David and the Surf City All Stars will preform on the Hawthorne High football field at 7 pm...tickets are going towards the establishment of the first Hawthorne Museum.

Tickets are at:  http://hawthornesurfmusic.eventbrite.com/ and clinic information and registration forms be found on: http://davidleemarks.com

Hi Carrie,

I've got a question which I thought you (or in fact David) could answer best that's why I'm posting it here. But if anyone else knows the answer, please fill in.
Does David rememebr who played the cymbal (that sounds like a wave) on "Catch a wave" ? I guess it was probably overdubbed after the basic track.
And another thing: did Al or David sing on the track "Surfer girl" ? Or was it just the four guys ? I really have problems hearing that out because of the double tracked voices.

Great show last night, Carrie!  'Twas a pleasure meeting you and your husband.  :-)

[Surfer Joe]

Great, great show once again.  Dave and Carrie, loved getting to talk to you guys again- thanks so much for your friendliness and patience with fans like me, and hope Dave had a great birthday yesterday.

[Emdeeh]

I agree with the general sentiment here. Thanks to David, Carrie, Jez and the rest of the band for a great show! And come back soon, y'all.

Rocker, I asked Dave the question about the cymbal crescendo on "Catch A Wave" back in '05 or '06, and he seemed to recall that it might be Brian on an overdub.  He said Dennis definitely played drums on the basic track, as he could still "see" the session in his mind's eye.  I didn't ask him about the vocals on "Surfer Girl", but my belief is it's just the three Wilsons and Mike on the "hit" (Capitol) version (Dave is definitley present on guitar, though).

Thank you ! I was wondering if Brian or Dennis played the cymbal. Couldn't see that a session musician would've been called in for that
