Title: 50 years ago this very day... Post by: Andrew G. Doe on September 15, 2011, 01:27:11 AM ... The Pendletones performed three songs in Hite Morgan's front room. The rest, as they say, is history.

Post by: Jay on September 15, 2011, 02:09:06 AM It's times like these that make you sit back and marvel at the world. They were just a group of kids. Who knew that 50 years later we'd even know their names, let alone still be talking about them. Was it just dumb luck? Was it their talent alone that made them hugely popular? Was it all the hard work that Murry did for them? Or was it....fate?

plus one from several possibilities, to my mind including: "Their Hearts Were Full of Spring" "The Wreck Of the Hesperus" "Rio Grande" (not that one, silly… Bruce Morgan's tune) "Sloop John B" "Luau" (not sure of the writing date for that) Title: Re: 50 years ago this very day...

Post by: Rocker on September 15, 2011, 10:30:56 AM Do we know who did the vocal arrangement on Luau ? Was it done on the spot or maybe at home by Brian ?

Hite threw back drink after drink as the teenaged Californian surfer boys, The Pendletones, writhed in their skin tight white pants and striped shirts each looking more boyish than the other. His mouth was open with his lower jaw jutted out and his chin tucked into his chest. His eyes were desirous and intense as they looked upwards at an angle stressing the devilish formation of his brow. The boys felt objectified but were no strangers to the perverse glances of relative strangers. Murry had told them about Hite. Yeah surfin safari yeah surfin safari yeah surfin sagari.
