  • Brian Wilson's Spacious Estate in West Suburban St
    May 24, 1998---- The backyard of Brian Wilson's spacious estate in west suburban St. Charles overlooks a calm pond. A playground set stands near the water. Wilson slowly walks out of the basement studio in the home he shares with wife Melinda and daughters Daria, 2, and Delanie, 6 months old. Wilson squints into the midday sun. He looks at a playground slide. Then he looks at a swing set. Wilson elects to sit down on the saddle swing. In a life of storied ups and downs, Wilson's career is on the upswing. The June release of ``Imagination'' (Giant Records) is a return to 1966's ``Pet Sounds'' in terms of orchestration and instrumentation, with its the ambitious patterns of tympanies and snare drums. But equally important are Wilson's vocals, which are the smoothest and most soulful since 1970's ``Sunflower.'' Wilson, 55, has suddenly defied age. Mick Jagger and Pete Townshend are brittle rock 'n' roll barnacles. Ray Davies and Paul McCartney have matured gracefully. Yet here's Wilson singing with effervescent hope on ``Dream Angel,'' which he co-wrote with his co-producer Joe Thomas and Jim Peterik of Survivor and Ides of March fame. The song was inspired by Wilson's new daughters. They make him happy. He says that is why he is writing happy music. On ``Dream Angel,'' Wilson even returned to the tight, late '50s harmonies of the Dell Vikings (``Come Go With Me'') and the Four Freshmen - happy-go-lucky voices that influenced the Beach Boys when they were young.

  • Strangers Among Sounds
    introduction Strangers among Sounds it all started with a record store and the Rock Island Line. When I was growing up in West Los Angeles, my parents gave me a weekly allowance for doing things I should have been doing anyway: clean- ing my room, washing the dishes, taking out the garbage. I was supposed to spend the money on weekend food, movies, and arcade games, but I never did. Instead, I would get on my silver BMX street bike, ride down streets that I knew I would see later that night in episodes of CHiPs, Starsky and Hutch, and Charlie’s Angels (we lived blocks from the original 20th Century Fox studios backlot), and raid the bins at a used record store that kept its vinyl in musty standing crates too close to the street windows, its cassettes stacked in locked Plexiglas display cases. The store was my refuge, and I knew its stock from front to back. I knew when a promotional copy of a new album dropped off by a local record exec or music journalist had come in, and I knew when someone had finally bought one of the three weathered copies of Nugent Live or the still-sealed pressing of Al Green’s Greatest Hits. It’s where I heard Tracy Chapman a month before her first record came out, where I could find the new Love and Rockets 12-inch, where I bought my J. Geils Band, Musical Youth, and Kool and the Gang tapes, and because you could listen to anything on the in-store turntable and cassette deck and because I was the store owner’s most regular prepubescent customer, it was where I could listen to anything 1 I wanted for as long as I wanted.

  • El Segundo High School Jour
    Singing Quartet Interview http://www.elsegundousd.com/eshs/be2003/november/opinions/quartetba... Singing Quartet Interview by: Mark Arellano Many different genres of musical groups exist today, and many rely heavily on instrumental leads with synthetic sounds created to alter voices in studios that sound rather fake. Though they’ve just started to work together as a group, the a cappella quartet of Seniors Alex Edlefsen , Darren Giglio , and Jeff Graham and Loyola High School Senior Brian Mescher, are hard at work and up-and-coming in harmony vocalization that is the real thing. They got the idea to begin a group during the summer when Edlefsen had a pool party and asked Giglio, Graham, and Mescher if they’d like to perform a song at the party. “Alex asked us if we wanted to get together and sing a song for this pool party of his; we thought it was a good idea and we sat down together to come up with something to exhibit at the party. We decided to do a rendition of ‘In my Room’ by the Beach Boys; we practiced it, and we sang it, and it was really smashing. So, we had the idea to start a singing quartet and see where it would take us,” explained Giglio of how they came together to start their quartet. They recently preformed at the Homecoming game right before the game started on October 25 with “Be true to your School” and joined the Chamber choir in singing the Alma Mater. When they were finished, the crowd cheered and was accepting.

  • Class of 1967 50Th Reunion Yearbook
    CLASS OF 1967 50TH REUNION Dear Classmates, Whether it seems like a very long time ago, like only yesterday, or a little of both, it really has been fifty years since our commencement. And now we are getting ready for another celebration at Brandeis. The Reunion Committee has worked diligently to create a memorable weekend. We will reconnect with friends, classmates, and even some apparent strangers to share memories and marvel at how we and the University have changed and not changed over the last fifty years. There will be meals, discussions, entertainment, gatherings, and schmoozing. A special keepsake of the Reunion is our class yearbook. Thanks to all who sent in submissions. We are especially grateful to Ron Mayer for his efforts in spearheading this project. Enjoy it! The yearbook contains the stories, memories, and thoughts of many of our classmates. Each is unique. Some are funny, some are sad, some are informative, and some are not. Yet together they tell a story and no matter how much we may care to deny it, it is a story that played an important part in our lives. We are looking forward to seeing you in June.

  • 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.
