from his facebook: "The Beach Boys will be performing this Saturday (Feb 5) at A Concert for America – A Tribute to Ronald Reagan. We played at President Reagan's 2nd inaugural and thought it would be appropriate to honor him for his centennial birthday celebration in light of our anniversary coming up later this year. Brian and I were both invited by Mike...more details soon on how you can watch this concert online!" http://www.facebook.com/#!/alanjardine |

I just saw this and rushed here to find out more information!! This seems to be so out of the blue!! Did any of our honored guests know about this? Andrew, did you know? Very cool, indeed. Hopefully, this is only just the beginning of the 50th anniversary plans! I really hope Mike invited David Marks as well.

Read about 'The Beach Boys' doing some kind of gig for Reagan a few days ago and like most, just thinking it would be Mike and Bruce gig. Wow...lets see what the media have to say. Could be a way to gauge interest for something else. A mention about Carls passing anniversary being the next day would be fitting. http://superbowlblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2011/01/ronald-reagan-to-get-super-bow.html |

Well considering they are sharing the bill, they will probably only play a handful of songs so it's not like they need to rehearse a full tour. I would guess one of them would be Hearts Were Full of Spring since they performed that at the inaugural and Mike dedicates it to Reagan still.

Now that song would take some practice. Could Al and Brian just fit in?

 20-minute set. Brian looks unlikely but never say never. |

I guess we shall see then. I guess Al never actually says Brian will be there, but he did word his statement cleverly to make it seem as if a reunion were taking place.

Gotcha, I broke Beach Boy fan rule #1 and let the excitement get the best of me before all parties agreed to get together.

A tribute to Ronald Reagan? I would hope a reunion would be in some other context. I know Mike and Bruce (and maybe some of the others) were friendly with the Reagans, but...don't make this the big reunion.

Whole year lies before us, summer as yet untouched... and anyway, the technical 50th - release of first record - is in November. Patience. |

From the Brit site.
Andrew:
I found the 1983 photo of the band and the Reagan's on the Reagan Library site. It's unfortunate that the view of Carl and Brian is blocked but at least we are all smiling!
We're playing an extremely short set Saturday night (20 minutes) but the program is two hours long.
I'm glad we were asked to be there and it will be fun to play with Al. I hope Brian is part of this event......

It makes me cringe sometimes when I think that these guys were in any capacity buddy-buddy with Reagan. Ugh.

And even if they didn't know, do you think they would tell you they didn't? |
