Hi Beach Boys fans....
About a million years ago in a city far, far away....well, that would be Cleveland, OH....Dennis Wilson came to radio station WMMS to partake in a Friday ritual known as the "Get Down". That would be hosted by WMMS personality Murray Saul. On this occasion, it was videotaped, audiotaped, and still photos were taken (by me) as WMMS planned to make a TV commercial with Dennis Wilson participating.
Dennis brought a VERY large jug o' whiskey with him. As Murray's rant went on, Dennis lost control, began sobbing, and told Murray about his father Murray and some of the not so pleasant childhood memories he had.
The video and audio-taping was stopped. Warner Bros. execs confiscated the tapes. They forgot about me. Until a couple days afterwards, when I was told by Warner Bros. execs that my photos had better not ever be printed or I would not have a career in the music biz. As I was 22 at the time, I thought it prudent to lose the negs.
I found them again today as I was going through my negative archives.
If there is a Beach Boys fan out there who thinks this roll of film is something they would want for their collection, please contact me @
jmrockandroll@sbcglobal.netI'm fine holding onto them, and putting them back into the archives. On the other hand, buying groceries and having my car fixed holds some allure.
Rock on...
Janet
