For sure, every summer of my life!
My first thought on May 1st is..'I wish we we had an ocean'. Then as always my mind relates my thoughts to a song. So, I start going through the lines of 'Surfin' USA'. 'If everybody had an ocean across the USA...etc.' and try to see how many lines I remember.
Then flooding mind thoughts of being with my 4 girlfriends in my crappy '57 Plymouth (4 window air) driving to Saquaro Lake or The Salt River. When we'd hear the guitar intro on the radio to Surfin USA, that just GRABS your attention with it's piercing chords and everybody saying, 'Oh, Turn THAT Up'. (It was even before cassette tapes and none of us even had 4 track players.) Just 2 rock AM radio stations. It wasn't easy being a Zonie living amongst cactus, it was pretty humiliating.
The Beach Boys band and songs and sound are still SO LOVED!
ps. Glad to have found this site and interesting posts. I've bought 4 BB books this month and will check out the albums I don't have. ~ Peace and Love ~
