COMMENT:
I know it has been quite a few months, even almost a year, since I said I would soon have a Study-Video educational release about more of my work with The Beach Boys. There have been a number of setbacks and I sincerely apologize for the delays. First, Will of Will C. Productions became rather busy with projects that pay his bills. So his voluntary efforts became harder to fit into a busy schedule. As delays mounted, I decided to reach out to other fans that could help in bringing these Study-Videos to release. About this time my main computer hard drive crashed. Although all the Study-Videos were backed up, it was still another setback I did not need. Then my dear sister had several emergency health issues immerge that required two long and complex operations to correct. This along with months of re-habilitation has been taking much of my time away from the book’s publication. She is now on the mend and I can say with some confidence that my future time can now be devoted to completing the publication of the study-videos.
As fate would have it, a break came with a call from Jack Riley, the producer of the radio show “Magic Transistor Radio.” (J. Riley not J.Rieley). With a name like Magic Transistor Radio, you know it’s a Beach Boy friendly and hip University Radio Station show, hosted by WPRK-FM out of Rollins Collage, Winter Park, Orlando, Florida. (see link below) In the course of our planning for an interview, I asked Jack if he knew of anyone that might be able and willing to help with the Study-Videos as Will’s schedule was overloaded. The next day he called and enthusiastically suggested I contact his friend Mike Conner. He arranged a meeting and within a few minutes I knew this was a fan that would bring new energy and creative ideas to this project.
To my delight Mike was happy to help and I am also exceedingly glad that he is now involved. Briefly Mike and his family live near Orlando where Professor Mike Conner is Course Director of Music History at Full Sail University, Orlando Campus. Needless to say, his work with me is as a Beach Boy fan and not affiliated with the University. His concentration is popular music of the 1950s- 1980s, but I found him to be just as much a Beach Boys fanatic as any of us.
Our team still has the benefit of Will’s suggestions, but can now move much faster with Mike’s expertise on-board. Mike started his efforts with a Study-Video about Vega-tables I finished assembling over a year ago. He has finished converting those files to the study-video format also incorporating some of his own ideas. That Study-Video is now available at
http://swdstudyvideos.com
.
Please welcome Mike Conner and enjoy the new Study-Video.
I can now confidently say that the book will be coming along soon.
Good Listening, ~Stephen W. Desper

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

Thanks again very much for doing these, Stephen. I've been showing them to some friends, both big and more casual BB fans, and I can say that everyone has pretty much been blown away by them.
