Latest issue of ESQ...

[bgas]

I just wanna say THANKS to Don for doing "Add Some Music" all those years ago, to RIck and Phil (and Les - RIP) for starting ESQ, to Lee and Dave for continuing ESQ, to Mike and Andrew for "Stomp!", to Stephen and Lawrence for "BBs Australia", and to Alice for "BBFUN"...these, along with the various writings of Preiss, Leaf, and Elliott...these have been indispensible to my own development into something more than a "casual" fan. Along with the track credits on the back cover slick of "15 Big Ones"! 

Maybe you missed them, maybe you forgot to mention, but for me, I'd HAVE to add Marty Taber for " Friends Of the Beach Boys", The Clown Princes for "A California Saga" and Chris Allen for "Open Sky" !

Forgot about that one! I think I still have copies of the "Clown Prince's Of Rock & Roll - California Saga" fanzine. It was put out by a guy named Rick Colville from Joisey. Wonder whatever happened to him. He was a big fan and collector.

Yes, "A California Saga" was great. Some of the covers had cool illustrations by Dave "The Rave" particularly for the final issue in 1998 when the fanzine bowed out gracefully, not before issuing a cool calendar, though!.

It's a great shame that "Open/Endless Sky" has seemingly come to a halt. The filmed interview with Darian and Nick is a must-see!

Thanks!  I had a blast interviewing those two at Mark Linett's poolside (right outside of the studio).

They are both super talented!

Great work, both by yourself and Chris!

I noticed that Volume 3 included a chapter link to sample interviews with Mark Linett and David Leaf. Are there any plans to release the full versions of these on a future Endless Sky DVD?

[DMBeard_13]

That's a GREAT question.

[bgas]

That's a GREAT question.

Is there someone that KNOWS the answer?

[felipe]

Could anyone tell me if in this number there was any question about the "I Believe In Miracles"/"Can't Wait Too Long" split and why the piano/clap/vocal part wasn't included in the box? I live in Brazil and don't have how to buy the magazine. I've read the 3 parts of that Rockcellar hoping Mark or Alan would talk about this
thank you for the attention

[Marcella]

Welcome to the board Felipe. I do not know the answer to your query but I welcome your addition to the board!

[felipe]

[off-topic] thank you very much Marcella. I've been stalking this board for a long time. I had tried to register 2 times but never received the moderation approval. This time I finally found it in the spam folder and am very happy to be here. I'm a musician and never met anyone who cares about BB or Motown, my favorite kind of music. Serious musicians in my country or play samba or Led Zeppelin sound-a-like stuff

What about if you live in the UK? I can't pay for stuff with dollars...

If you have a PayPal account you can stipulate the amount in dollars no matter what your currency.

Excellent issue including great interviews with Alan and Mark regarding MiC.

Used to really like the fan mag "A California Saga", and was sad when it ended. Rick Colville was a great guy; I remember being invited to his house in Mercer County NJ years ago for a solo concert performance by Jeff Foskett. Cleared all the furniture out of his family room, and Fosket set up shop, took requests, etc...it was a great day. Not sure whatever became of Rick, but I hope he's well.

Agreed.  Don't know what became of Rick but he did some pretty good work, snagged some pretty good interviews (most notably he conducted the 1992/93 Mike Love Goldmine interview) back in the day. I think his last issue coincided with Carl's passing.

Rick came all the way out to Oakland for a BB Convention in the early 80's. Brought some nice tradables. Nice guy - huge fan. I remember he wore braces on his teeth. Don't remember seeing or hearing from him after that - just dropped off the Earth.
