Thanks for the info, Ian. I wondered how I missed seeing that in The R&B back then. I must have been away when it ran, and missed seeing the paper. I would have at least cut out the ad and kept it.  Huh

I did find my photos from the Lake Lanier Islands show, tho. No date other than May, 1981 on them. I don't have a printed ad for that either, found about the show from the radio.

Also in 1982, including one near Atlanta. Astroray, did you go to that show? I was traveling out of state and missed it.

Ian, what publication did the ad for the Atlanta show run in? I just checked my clippings collection and there's nothing for November, 1981.

I resided in Northeast Georgia in 1981 and I don't recall hearing about Mike Love playing the Agora Ballroom in Atlanta, but Carl Wilson played there in April of 1981. If Mike did play the Agora, it was likely a private show. I do have a memory of there being a non-performing ML appearance (signing) in the area that I missed to illness, it may have been around that time. There were other Agora Ballrooms in other cities, so it could be a different locale for your November date.

Mike played a public solo show in the spring (May/June -- I'll have to check the dates when I have access at home) of 1981 at Lake Lanier Islands, a golf resort near Buford, GA.

It's "Dee Dee" -- apparently that's what the family calls her. The Honeys will be on one of the episodes.

I won't be watching, since we don't get GSN anymore.









2581  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Dennis Wilson documentary to premiere in UK on Feb. 26th. on: January 13, 2010, 08:18:24 PM
So, will this eventually wind up as PBS pledge-drive fare in the U.S.? I figure that's our best chance of seeing it here, unless BBC America picks it up...

But that doesn't mean we can't all get together and chant for a Carl B. version...  Anyone who's heard his version of "Forever" would surely agree, no?

Oh yes, count me in! Carl B's rendition of "Forever" brought the house down.




2583  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: T.A.M.I. Show on: January 11, 2010, 11:32:36 AM
Gotta agree with you about James Brown. I'm looking forward to the T.AM.I. show release as much for his performance as for the BB's.







2584  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Billy Hinsche's new DVD out NOW.......!!! on: December 31, 2009, 04:38:13 PM
Very shortly after this was shot, we acquired a 3/4" color camera & recorder, that shot on these huge cassette type tapes.

Ed, I worked for a public television station back in the '70s and remember when we switched to 3/4" format, from 2-inch. Those 2-inch tape playback machines were huge, the size of a chest freezer. The 3/4" tape editing/playback machines took up less space, but yeah the cassettes were still pretty big, as cassettes go.

I am delighted with Billy's DVD -- a truly unique view of a moment in time for the BBs. I love the "fly-on-the-wall" character of this film. You get to see the individual BBs as real people, and how life on the road unfolds.

Billy has just extended his free shipping offer through the end of January, 2010, so there's another good reason to order 1974.



2585  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: When did the BBs stop wearing the candy striped shirts? on: December 19, 2009, 04:41:01 PM
Embarrassingly enough, back in the day, the white outfits were labeled "ice cream suits" by the hipster establishment.

IIRC, the "ice cream suits" were a set of brightly colored and/or pastel suits that they wore for the Eye magazine shoot -- not the white suits.

BTW, I'm correcting the spelling in the subject line, because "stripped shirts" = shirtless. Not that that's a bad thing when it comes to Denny.  Grin

Here's how to order it (my copy is on the way):

Hey y'all -- Billy's 1974 video is now available at www.billyhinsche.com/1974 . Looking forward to seeing this one...






2588  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: \ on: December 16, 2009, 10:34:43 AM
A couple of things for perspective's sake: Carl never got over losing Dennis, he was still sensitive on the subject many years after Denny's passing. He was also very, very concerned about Brian. The whole business with Landy was a painful experience for Carl, and it left lingering aftereffects in the brothers' relationship once Landy was out of the picture.







2589  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Remembering The Beach Boys' Dennis Wilson on: December 04, 2009, 10:41:48 AM
Thanks for the posting, Jon. That's a well-written, nicely-realized article -- and I noticed this site gets some props in the process.







2590  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Anyone on Facebook, check out Brett Simons' page - pix of the sessions. on: October 22, 2009, 11:04:26 AM
Is there any way to see the pics without a password?

Or more to the point, without joining Facebook (yuck!)?





2591  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Dennis and Charlie on: October 17, 2009, 05:04:26 PM
Completely disagree on the Gaines book. It's mostly gossiping.





2592  Smiley Smile Stuff / The Beach Boys Media / Re: Breaking Mike Love news! on: October 09, 2009, 04:43:42 PM
Oh, the fun you can have with Photoshop!


 Grin LOL





2593  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Brian Wilson/Gershwin collaboration on: October 08, 2009, 05:38:06 AM
I find the Wilson-Gershwin idea fascinating, since I consider them to be peers, and Brian is clearly influenced by Gershwin.

As for the Disney project: "She loves the Mon-un-un-key's Uncle!" LOL

Billy's dedication to Carl would have been either on February 6 at the Corestates Center in Philadelphia or February 9 at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island New York.

News of Carl's passing didn't become public until Feb. 7, so I suspect it's the 9th show.






2595  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: A new Tweet from Brians Account.... on: October 07, 2009, 10:18:58 AM
New tour dates, including some in the southeastern US?

2597  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: when was the first time you noticed or listened to the beach boys? on: September 29, 2009, 07:59:55 PM
I started listening to the radio regularly in late 1962. There was this goofy, but charming, novelty song called "Ten Little Indians." The next spring I heard "Surfin' U.S.A.," "Shut Down," "Surfer Girl," and "Little Deuce Coupe" on the airwaves, and I was hooked on that amazing sound.

Why was Dennis blessed with the sexy gene and not Carl or Brian?

They weren't? It's news to me!  Grin

Seriously, it's all in the eyes of the beholder, dearie, and not just about shirtless poses. Of course Dennis was attractive, but so were his brothers in their own ways. Carl onstage was dynamite to this gal. Those Wilsons had serious charisma!

And didn't Carl smoke cigarettes his whole life?

No, just for most of it. Carl quit smoking around 1984 (or slightly earlier).


Edit: After doing the math, it's more like half of his all-too-brief life. I still miss that guy -- he was the greatest.





2600  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Does anyone of you know the Beach Boys Manager? on: September 17, 2009, 07:08:29 PM
Maybe it was just Carl, but Schilling was associated with the BBs in some form thru 1985.
