You did? Crap, that's cool! Who, from the Beach Boys? I'm a Brian Wilson fan(mainly because I look like him.

I went to highschool with Bruce Johnston, who joined the Beach Boys after Dennis died. Bruce is the guy on the left in the pic at the top of
this Beach Boys site
Jan's first hit, "Baby Talk" was with another partner, Arny. Strangely enough, they called themselves, "Jan and Arny."
The song started with
Bomp-bomp-ba-ba-bomp-bomp-bomp... That was in 1967 or 68.
Jan, Arny, Dean and another guy sang a doo wop songs, and Bruce, I, and a drummer named Sandy Nelson, who later had a hit drum record, called "Teen Beat," along with other musicians, used to play in shows backing up them and other performers.
BTW, 60's music was cooler than 50's.
Agreed.
After I dropped out of law school, my serious, continuous playing started with songs by The Beatles, Buffalo Springfield, The Byrds, etc. Two weeks after the first CSNY album was released, my band was singing the "Suite Judy Blue Eyes" live on stage. That's where you really find out about getting high just singing harmonies.
I also tried skydiving... once... for the
LAST time. I found out why people do it. It's for the rush. When you're live in front of an audience, you get no pitch correction, no punching in, and no second takes. You're just emotionally naked in front of everyone, and when you do it right, I can't begin to describe the high. If you blow it, you die, just like in skydiving, except that it's a spiritual death, and you live to tell about it and try again.
