  • SURF MUSIC by Geoffrey Himes
    SURF MUSIC By Geoffrey Himes It often seems that the United States is a pool table that has been tilted so all its hopes and dreams roll to the west. Whenever Americans want a new and better life, they head toward the setting sun. Whether it was the white-canvas covered wagons of the 1850s, the rusty Okie jalopies of the 1930s or the painted hippie vans of the 1960s, the direction is always westward—and eventually they collect in the pool table’s corner pocket known as Southern California. When Chuck Berry went chasing after his imagined utopia in the song “Promised Land," where did he end up? Los Angeles. Thousands of Hollywood movies had advertised Southern California as a nirvana of palm trees, sunshine, beautiful girls and beautiful boys, convincing folks from Oklahoma, Kansas and Ohio to pack up and move to the coast. By the end of the 1950s, the area around L.A. was full of almost as many transplanted Midwesterners as native Californians. The natives knew the region was no utopia, but the first and second-generation immigrants, these strangers in paradise, still clung to the notion of America’s western edge as the place where their dreams might come true. The teens and twentysomethings in these families—too young and too new to the West Coast to be disillusioned— turned that utopian impulse into a new kind of rock'n'roll: surf music. Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson, whose father and mother had moved to California from Kansas and Minnesota respectively, formed the Beach Boys.

Winery owner Ron Semler told Valley News Group that the company is purchasing the old Lederer ranch stables at 23130 Sherman Way in West Hills for a wine- tasting venue. The stables were built in the early 1930’s by film star Francis Lederer and his wife. They converted them into a gallery in later years, and the City of Los Angeles dedicated it as a historial landmark in 1975. Most recently it served as the Hidden Chateau & Gardens event venue. Semler and his Malibu Wines have been producing and selling wines for a dozen years. Their original wine tasting space in the hills off Kanan Road offers live music, movies on Thursday nights in the summer, and a comedy show once a month. “It’s a reasonable day or evening out,” said Semler. “You can bring your own picnic and there is no charge for admission. Relax, sit back and enjoy good wine and good fun.” He is ready to create a tasting room at the Lederer Pool to Open at Woodland Hills Park! site immediately.

However, it was between 1962 and 1966 that the group had most of their chart success and that their unique ‘sound’ was crystallised. This study takes a broad, big- picture overview of the Beach Boy’s repertoire from this period and charts the development of their sound through the apprentice-craft-art (ACA) framework. The concept of a ‘sound’ is able to draw together the musical, technological, sociological and historical elements that, when combined, create the sound of the Beach Boys during the 1962-1966 period. The flexibility of this concept means that areas often overlooked in popular music studies and in studies on the Beach Boys in general (particularly the roles of production and instrument types), are able to be woven into analyses of more traditional musical elements (such as song structure or chord progressions).
