I’m a rotten hypocrite. A bunch of times I’ve mocked the “Theme” music idea on these lists. Turns out for the last couple of years, my nursing home gigs mostly have had themes – Christmas, Easter, Fall Equinox, Patriotism…
This upcoming August, in lieu of the slated Oregon to Georgia solar eclipse, we’re doing SUN songs.
Here’s the notes I recently emailed our singer.

TREX, oh man, some other good ones. I watched 2nd half a 1985 Beach Boys documentary the other night. Lot of neat footage, they attempted Heroes and Villains in front of a outdoor audience. Props for that. For some reason i thought Dennis drowned early in their career. Filmers didn’t spend any time on the ’75 Love You album. Been years since I listened to it, but was my fave of theirs, and boss cover art.
That was a cover I saw a lot when it was new, because it was one of those albums they stocked in the supermarket, along with The Beatles at Hollywood Bowl. But I didn’t hear Love You till it was reissued on CD and I paid attention because Peter Buck wrote the liner notes.
That’s groovy. Buck had the Midas touch.
