Great! I'm always looking forward to your updates. Such an interesting site!
I saw that one picture of Al with his guitar is mirrored (March 12th).
And you say on May 5th "Following this show, a radio DJ interviewed the Beach Boys about their new album Pet Sounds, which had been released while they were on tour. A decent tape of this interview makes the rounds" but wasn't Pet Sounds released on May 16th?
I only know this interview from that time:
Al Jardine & Mike Love • 1966 Interview On "Pet Sounds"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgd-CITMvukSo is there more? I would love to hear this. IIRC I only read about the Boys talking about Pet Sounds at that time but never heard them (apart from the audio I linked to above)
