Title: RIP Joe Saraceno. Post by: Andrew G. Doe on October 16, 2015, 04:11:20 AM A small but notable cog in the great machine of BB history.

Title: Re: RIP Joe Saraceno. Post by: Andrew G. Doe on October 16, 2015, 10:48:54 AM There was a phone call between Saraceno & Regan (allegedly - Jim's book gives roughly 463 different versions of who called them The Beach Boys and when) and at various times both have claimed the honour. Me, I wish they'd stuck with The Woodies...

However, RIP Joe - as per Jim's book, which I've recently consumed, Saraceno was A&R guy for Candix Enterprises and was responsible for getting the Dix brothers to hear the 'Surfin' acetate. Pretty good contribution to the legacy, I'd say. Title: Re: RIP Joe Saraceno. Post by: Sjöman on October 21, 2015, 02:27:04 AM Andrew, what is your source for Saraceno's death? I find nothing on the net.

Title: Re: RIP Joe Saraceno. Post by: Sjöman on October 21, 2015, 03:14:49 AM Thanks, seems legit then. Turns out "RIP" or "R.I.P." are better search terms than "dead" or "died" for finding mentions of this on Google.
