Listening to the American Spring record this morning, I started wondering: how many of the public knew that this material was associated with The BBs back at the time of its release? I mean, I know people could read the credits and see Brian Wilson's name here and there, but other than that, the connection wasn't exactly something advertised to the public very much, right? I know of Brian's interview with Diane, but to a random person going to a record shop, I'm guessing this music went undiscovered to many.

I learned about the Honeys in 1964, when I lived in Memphis, TN. I heard them played on a Houston, TX AM radio station (with a long reach) and the DJ talked about their connection to Brian.

That's very interesting to hear, thanks for reply!

Maybe I put too much faith in atmosphere

Living in the UK, I heard "Surfin' Down The Swanee River" at least once on Radio Luxembourg at the time of its release but I can't recall any connection with Brian being made. I think it was treated as just another rocked-up version of an old song.
