The triumph of The Hickey Script !

For reasons that would hopefully be obvious to all forgathered here, been doing a little light research into Candix Records, and amongst other interesting info, discovered that Robert & Richard Dix weren't just brothers, but twins, born 12/4/1915, and they lived to a fair old age: Richard died 4/7/99 aged 83 while Richard died a month short of his 91st birthday on 11/6/2006.
Both of them were musicians and played with Guy Lombardo and Glen Miller. Robert also worked for Disney as an animator.
Anyone else have any info on the Dix family, it'd be gratefully welcomed.

Most curiously indeed, actor Richard Dix also had twin sons called Richard and Robert!

I know... it's a serious pain when researching.

Ohhhhh boyohboyohboyohboy! A CANDIX thread!! I love the subject of Candix Records!!!
Logged
I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

Okay I am joshing but Wilson did once state that work on H&V started, I think, in '63. Wish I could remember where the quote came from… but please accept my apologies for messing with the Candix thread in jest … I'm too young to remember Candix!

Ah, two Johns!
That's OK, Mr. Manning. Yeah, I think I
do
remember Brian saying that the idea for Heroes & Villains started around 1963.
John K - Ah, you bring back good memories! So you read that thread too, eh? Good, knowledgeable people posted on that thread back then!

Just for knowledge's sake, because this link has something to do with the Beach Boys and music: Russ Regan signed Patti Dahlstrom to Uni Records. Tony Asher apparently had an affair with her, and she had previously been Bruce's "signficant other". (

I don't want your immortal soul, Andrew----as if life isn't complicated enough!----but I believe the answer lies in the fact that long before he met Brian,
Tony Asher
, who was a pianist, played gigs with one Kelly Gordon, a singer-songwriter who later co-wrote
"That's Life"
. Gordon, who planned on recording that song himself, took it to
Russ Regan
, who was working for Loma Records (an arm of Warner Bros) at the time. Regan convinced him it was made for Frank Sinatra and passed it on to the great man via Mo Ostin. And the rest etc.
Of course I may be wrong.
Interestingly, Kelly Gordon did get to record it later:

Nope. Simpler, and much more arcane than that. Asher wrote jingles for Gallo Wines and when Regan first moved to California, he worked as a salesman for... Gallo Wines.

Fair play. I never did like Sinatra. :=) I'd noticed Asher's connection with Mattel Toys in Chuck Granata's book but that's all.

Is this thread still about Candix, as in the record label?
How many on this bored have the Beach Boys' "Surfin'/Luau" single on Candix 301 or Candix 331?
