Brian (or maybe Al): "I just had a bottle of wine, I'm so dizzy."

That's Al.

Check him out!

I think you're right...  Brian also seemed to adopt some of Murry's studio habits as well... 
 
Like when Brian told the boys to sing "With Me Tonight" with a smile -- that's not unlike Murry insisting that they "BE HAPPY!"
 
Or when Brian was explaining how the drums in the intro to "Wouldn't It Be Nice" should be -- he kinda sounds like Murry scatting "Rhonda"...
 
And, I think it's in the BW DVD, "On Tour," where Brain tells Jeff he's sharp, then he's "flatting"...  I dunno -- just seems to me Brian sorta became Murry to an extent...

A fake-Murry, played by Kevin Dunn:

I have the entire Sea Of Tunes/Unsurpassed Masters series...  Aside from the notorious "Rhonda" session, which volumes contain interesting examples of Murry dialog in the studio?
 
THANX!

I'd LOVE to see an example of that button...  meanwhile, here's that photo I was looking for:

What was printing on the pinback buttons Murry used to hand out at the early shows? 

Something like, "I Met The Beach Boys' Dad?"

birth name: MURRY GAGE WILSON
 
known aliases: REGGIE DUNBAR
 
... any others?

Where's that 'famous' photo of Murry with glasses & pipe that I've seen in all those documentaries?  I can't find it online...  anyone have it??

THANX!

["We were all so poor we'd just sit around singing and on occasion drink a brew; not the children, the adults. And then I bought a Hammond electric organ, on time, and we'd play duets, my wife and I. And then Brian would get in on the act and sing. All they ever heard was music in the house. And on occasion family arguments."--MURRY WILSON]

Lately, my favorite Wilson to study is not the amazing Carl, not the 1+only Denny, & not even BRIAN...  My latest fascination in B-Boy Land has been one MURRY GAGE WILSON!
 
Can we start a Murry thread, please?  Mostly, I'm interested in photos of Murry, because they seem rare, but also any quotes from him -- or about him would be great...
 
Thanks in advance -- I'll start by listing some basic data & posting a photo to get the beach ball bouncin'...
 
Murry Gage Wilson was born in Hutchinson, Kansas, on July 2nd, 1917...
 
& here's a picture of Murry & Dennis...



Thanks again,

Any links to it?
(I'll do a google search)

Did you find it?  Can anyone point me to AUDIO of Mike's infamous RnR Hall Of Fame speech?  I've found transcripts of the text, but I'd like to hear it.  Can someone help me out?
 
THANX!

Why did Brian say he & Al were going to tour together?  That didn't really happen, did it? 
 
I do remember Bruce w/ Brain around this period tho...
 
weird...

Yosville!  Nice to see that my "SOUTH BEACH PARK BOYS" image made it to the new board...
 
I had to re-register -- a new account with my old name -- is that cool?  Or should the old account info be available...?
 
thanks!
