Happy Birthday to a hell of a great guy and a tremendous talent and spirit, and fellow Burbank survivor. Had the pleasure to meet (and bother) Mr. and Mrs. Marks here in Atlanta a few weeks ago, and- along with the stellar, very spontaneous performance he gave us- it's one of those rare Beach Boys moments I'll treasure until they box me up.
Spotting my copy of the book and the pen in my hand, he motioned me over to the bar where a meal had just been placed before him. Here's the opening dialogue:
SJ: I really hate to bother a guy while he's eating dinner.
DM (big David Marks grin, handshake extended): B___s___!
A hell of a guy, God bless 'em both, and Happy Birthday.
Red Bull lifted to DLM on what I'll call the Roger Maris birthday. A twenty-one squirt gun salute.
Now give us another album.

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.

Where in Atlanta did you run into him at?
On August 2, he played at a club downtown called Eddie's Attic. It was a Sunday night, and on the previous Friday, with everything else going on, I got an e-mail from ESQ about their convention, followed a link to a blog with information about that, scrolled down, and was just boggled to spot a notice that David Marks would be playing a solo show here in Atlanta in about 52 hours. I tried to round up two buddies here in town from this board, and one who had also heard about it somehow tried to round me up, all with no luck. Of course the last guy and I hooked up at the show. When I walked in, there he was, the Lost Legend, just walking around like a person, and mingling.
I spotted Carrie and introduced myself, and she brought Dave over, and I got to talk to him for a few minutes before the show, and a good while afterward. Oddly, we talked about just about everything but the Beach Boys. It was a great experience in itself to connect with a guy like that, but the show itself...when I get the time and energy I'll write a review of that either as its own thread or added to Carrie's thread above.
This sort of thing doesn't really happen in Atlanta much; it made me nostalgic for Burbank, when I was right near everything and everybody all the time. I used to always think that one day I'd go to the movies and there would be Brian, sitting with his hand on his chin. Happened to friends of mine. I never spotted him out and about, though.
I told Carrie that I had looked Dave up in the Burbank phone book in the nineties, and thought he lived right behind me, but she told me, after all these years, that Dave was unlisted and that was another guy. Dave added that the guy had not only the same first and last name, but the same middle name, too, with the result that Dave once got pulled over for speeding and then hauled in by the cops on that guy's warrant.

I'm guessing from your handle that you played bass. And from your sig pic, are you an Atlanta animator?
