Title: My Beach Boys "tribute gig", plus BBs fashion advice. Post by: Joshilyn Hoisington on May 26, 2012, 04:00:59 PM I posted a little bit about this elsewhere, but in hopes of reaching a larger audience, I post here.
If anybody is near-ish to Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Friday, June 22nd, I will be performing a free show, all Beach Boys tunes, in honor of the 50th anniversary. I'm still recruiting musicians to help out by the way--if you're interested. Reasons you ought to come: I worked with Alan Boyd for a while, so the in-between song banter may feature some anecdotes "from the vaults." You might hear about my meetings with various Beach Boys. You'll hear some of your favorite music, including a disproportionate number of Love You songs. If you show up and mention the board here, I might be able to make it worth your while. Let's just say you might come away hearing something many people on this board would pay a lot of money to hear...whatever that means, huh? Now for the fashion advice: I want to wear a shirt like Brian's here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxysIUUFlnw (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxysIUUFlnw) Anybody have any idea where I might get one?

I'm across Lake Michigan in Wisconsin, and the first ferry of the year across the big pond ran aground last week. I'd love to come, but I can't get away that weekend. Good luck with the show, H.Title: Re: My Beach Boys \ Post by: Pretty Funky on May 28, 2012, 05:37:47 PM Most shirts with that type of big bright stripe pattern and a button front are rugby shirts.

If you want to go the whole hog I guess you could cut off the sleeves and neck but that seems a bit extreme. http://www.joules.com/en-GB/Mens-Rugby-Shirt/Red/M_LEONARD/ProductDetail.raction Title: Re: My Beach Boys \ Post by: Joshilyn Hoisington on May 28, 2012, 05:40:35 PM I've got rugby shirts up the wazoo, to be honest.
