A friend of mine that I go kayaking & rafting w/ hums those none stop when we are out.. He does mostly old tv shows. Like bonanza, gun smoke, Maverick etc..

Sometimes I'll ask him what that one is from, & he'll say I dunno... Then he'll recall some time later(27 songs later..lol) I dunno how old he actually is, as he has been saying 72 & retired for going on 20 years now & is in better shape than almost all the youngins we take out..lol

Good for him! It's funny how catchy those TV show songs and commercials can be. I worried a lot about my oldest daughter when she was an infant/toddler. She didn't talk other than a word here and there. But she could sing with near-perfect pitch -- and all the words too! -- TV commercials and a song that I used to sing to her:


She still sings, and has the voice of an angel.

Junior Brown is one of my favorite artists, though his surf medley is not my favorite work of his.

I started getting into Surf about 10+ years ago, amongst various other genre but what I found surprising is the role "western" (as in country & western) music played... They say the blues had a baby & the called it rock n roll, & so "western" to had a baby, & they called it surf.......... Although there were other awesome contributions & influences as well like Dick Dale who played in the C&W band & did Greek & Lebanese gigs on the weekend.

There was a kinda movement in the bay area for a while, like a revival, this was one of my fav from SF

What an odd coincidence. Two of the ppl on my "It's so-and-so's birthday today" FB thing have passed away but their pages are still there and active, kept so by family members who miss them. Gurhan and Allen, this one's for you:
