Title: Good Neighbor's Day Post by: bgas on May 26, 2011, 03:51:09 AM Kinda surprised I haven't seen anything posted here about this. Two months out, I figure Mikie( and all the other California people) will want to be making plans to be there.
I mean, after all, this is the PREMIER Beach Boys site! Of course, I just stumbled on it this morning, maybe it's a brand new listing, Jon/Carrie? It sounds kinda cool to get guiitar lessons from David http://www.davidleemarks.com/ Title: Re: Good Neighbor's Day Post by: Paulos on May 26, 2011, 04:27:51 AM This does sound pretty damn cool!

Title: Re: Good Neighbor's Day Post by: Carrie Marks on May 26, 2011, 08:30:05 AM Yes, this is new...it was just announced on David's facebook page and website earlier this week.
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 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. The City is currently working on getting a discounted group hotel rate if anyone outside the Southern California area wants to participate. Tickets are at: http://hawthornesurfmusic.eventbrite.com/ and clinic information and registration forms be found on: http://davidleemarks.com Title: Re: Good Neighbor's Day Post by: bgas on July 16, 2011, 05:07:52 AM NEW Interview with Dave in the Daily Breeze :
