I don't know if this belongs to the on topic board or to the off topic, so please move it if necessary. As you know, Myrna was Carl's partner on his two solo albums

I quote from an Elvis-message board:

Elvis Unlimited is proud to announce that our Back In Memphis concert will be a benefit concert for Myrna Smith of The Sweet Inspirations. Elvis Unlimited was the first to break the news of Myrna being hospitalized in London and then again in California where she presently is recovering.

We now can share some even more serious news about Myrna. She has suffered a stroke and is on dialysis. She will need long term care. Myrna has many medical bills and many more medical expenses are ahead due to severity of her condition. Therefore, Henrik & I have decided that proceeds from our show will go to Myrna to help relieve some of the stress of the medical bills. Right now, Myrna only needs to focus on getting better.

The show is during Elvis Week on August 12 at 8 PM at the Michael D. Rose Theater at the University Of Memphis. Reserved seats are 45.00 US Dollars and includes admission to the mini -convention and silent auction from 6 to 8 PM with special guests Barbara Hearn,Charles Stone, Sonny West, Sandi Pichon, Roben Jones & more.

We have spent the last month reorganizing this show to make this a complete success for Myrna. We have changed venues to a larger venue right in Memphis to accommodate more fans and lower ticket prices. We also will have a silent auction before the show at our mini convention from 6 to 8 PM for ticket holders only. All items will directly benefit Myrna. Come down to the University of Memphis for THE concert of Elvis Week! We promise you a great show and a chance to lend a helping hand to our Sweet Inspiration, Myrna Smith!

Let's show Myrna how much we love and support her! Let's all pull together and help Myrna just as Elvis would do! Let's show the world what the Elvis Family is all about - friendship and support!

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.

Very sorry to hear that - Carl produced an unreleased album for her, and she was married to Jerry Schilling for a period.

I see Sonny West will be there. Hope he's wearing a Kevlar vest.  Smiley

Andrew, while we're at this topic, the '78 (or '79) album "Hot Butterfly" by the Sweet Inspirations had Carl thanked on the backcover. Do you know if he had anything to do with the album? Or why he was mentioned? This was before his solo carreer

Well, as far as I know he didn't actually contribute to it... but then, until literally 20 minutes ago I didn't know that Mike sang bvs on the B side of a 1984 UK Adrian Baker single. So...

Great thing about Carl guesting is, if he's there, you'll know it.

Jerry was working for and traveling with the Beach Boys in '77.

Well, he certainly isn't singing on the album in a noticeable way, but I thought he might've played guitar or keys. Unfortunately I don't have any credits.


Thanks Ed for that picture. Dennis looks good, and I like Carl's stage outfit. I saw some pictures from this appearance on the web

Thanks for the photo of Dennis, Carl, & Myrna.  What was the date of the picture?  1981?  I plan on attending the benefit in Memphis, so it should be pretty good.

Has anyone heard the unreleased album, is it any good?  When did Carl produce it?  Did he write any of the songs on it?

I saw Carl with Myrnah at the Old Waldorf nightclub when he was promoting his 1st lp. She was a knockout!

Ironically, someone had just written to me that Carl played the Roxy on 4/23/81.
As for Myrna 'taking a liking to Dennis', anyone who knew or met him can tell you it was hard not to...

In San Francisco in '81?  That was one great show.

Rule of thumb, think BEFORE you post. And THINK how it may affect someone else's feelings.

Check out the Beach Boys Starline website, the place for pictures of many countries Beach Boys releases on 45.

Listening to you I get the music; Gazing at you I get the heat; Following you I climb the mountain; I get excitement at your feet
Right behind you I see the millions; On you I see the glory; From you I get opinions; From you I get the story
