★★★★★ · SURF CITY BY JAN & DEANNE · Tara Connor · 2025-11-20
'''WOW,I had "surfing" records of dance music like this, actually The Beach Boys, similar.Surfing and California-beach culture was everywhere. ----And the Beatles got mentioned down the high school hallway, (4 yr. high school)--that that crazy girl in "commercial Art"was so nuts over the Beatles, it was wrecking her school work.The commercial-art teacher sat her down and scolded her about "being too crazy about the Beatles.".Now I realize it was just HORMONES .---So what?That's what you remember ,how great the music was, not schoolwork.
