Title: No Calls From Korthoff, Parks Or Grillo
Post by: The Heartical Don on January 21, 2011, 07:09:03 AM
...isn't it amazing? I just discovered what was actually sung in this line, by googling for the lyrics. I always thought I heard the name 'Korthoff', but thought I was wrong... and I never bothered to investigate earlier...

...any more such fun stuff floating in the catalogue?

Not the Parks most folk assume it is. Jon Parks, then road manager.  :)

What, may I ask, did you actually sing during that part before your google discovery?

^^ But more to the point, how do you feel about being given the cold shoulder by The Beach Boys?


I'll be here all week  ;D

 :lol eh... No course from cold off, hearts oh will oh...

I did not make this up, it is the closest I can come. If only I had the  transcript of the pseud-Amerenglish phonemes I sang along with Zager & Evans: In The Year 2525... I didn't know English then, but did my best.

Hmmm, didn't feel like that. I thought it was funny to give three namechecks of close associates this way...

When I walked up to BW's Bellagio Mansion back in the 70's ,Steve Korthoff pulled up in the driveway,he introduced himself ,and I sang "You're "No calls from Korthoff,Parks or Grillo" he laughed and said thats me!

Steve Korthoff is one of the last great frontiers of Beach Boy/BW related interviewing...

"Be Here in The Morning" is probably all-time favorite Beach Boys 'deep cut'. A little pocket-symphony of its own. :)

Yes, it's a little gem. Often overlooked, I think.

Is he still around ? I think I recall reading he died a few years ago...

I wonder if Van Dyke Parks heard that song and thought "I wonder why Brian doesn't want to take my calls?"
