Hello all. I hope you're having a great weekend. I wanted to give you the heads-up that we have a new episode of Surf's Up - A Beach Boys Podcast Safari with special guest James B. Murphy, author of the excellent Becoming The Beach Boys 1961-1963. We talk about the group's demo recordings with Hite and Dorinda Morgan and some of the key characters from the early days, including Murry Wilson, Judy Bowles, Nik Venet, Russ Regan, Jodi Gable, and more. And together we ponder whether Brian would have been smarter to keep "Surf City" for the boys and given "Surfin' USA" to Jan & Dean! Please check it out. Would love to hear your feedback. It's available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and here on SoundCloud:
