I suspect Dennis, especially, would have enjoyed hitting the 69 mark.  ;)

Seriously though, I was so heartbroken when Dennis died. The Beach Boys had brought me so much joy through my life, I was truly a fanatic, and I saw his death as the end of the group. There were a lot of good times after his passing but it was certainly never the same.

In honor of Dennis birthday, and facing the 30th anniversary of his passing later this month, Annie & I created a facebook page featuring some rarely seen photos of him   https://www.facebook.com/roachclips68  It will be updated throughout the month, and will link to some never before seen videos soon

Some great shots Ed. Love the drumming pictures.

BTW. A member here bought a cowbell from ebay not long ago that the listing said belonged to Dennis. Any kit shots showing a cowbell in your collection?

Just listened to the BBs Christmas album and Denny's voice-over is true and honest.

Speaking of, love his vocal on Morning Christmas. I basically overlooked the Ultimate Christmas collection, but when I heard Morning Christmas I was really taken aback. Some of his finest vocal work. The world is a lesser place without your musical contributions Dennis, but I know you have a babe on each arm up in heaven

Dennis had so much soul...
So much love.
 
Ed,  The fb page looks great.  Looking forward to watching as it grows.

Gosh where did 30 years go? Seems like yesterday that I sat stunned by the news on TV seeing his body being wheeled away on a stretcher.

With the 30th anniversary of Dennis' death coming near, I am even more thankful for all the stuff we got on MIC. Seems he finally got the recognition he deserves.
On december 28th I am gonna do a special tribute concert with my favourite Dennis songs, I hope this can help to show Dennis art to some more people.

You write like a bizarre granny. I mean, usually really old people give compliments for trivial things (here: typical Christmas speech said in a typical voice)... unless you weren't serious & it's an in-joke.

I know Dennis had Problems why did he have to drink vodka and Orange Juice before diving off a friends boat then drown.  Maybe Christine told him not to dive off and look for treasure that he threw  overboard from his boat in the past like the early 70's
