Thanks, Joost.  The other question I had got shuffled back to the preceding page.  I had asked if there was a Wendy that figured significantly in either Brian or Mike's life in 1964?

Not that I know of... But most of the Beach Boys' songs about girls were in fact autobiographical, so it could be that there was a "real" Wendy... I'll see if I can find something about it somewhere.

Regarding the question about Wendy: did some research and the conclusion is... Drum roll... Nobody seems to know.  ;D ;sorry

Hi Joost! In my opinion, I think that "Wendy" was just a name for the song. I really don't think that a Wendy existed. Wendy is a British word which means friend. THE BEACH BOYS were really into visiting England and Brian really like the name Wendy. Marilyn knew that Brian liked the name Wendy so much that she decided to name her youngest daughter Wendy. Take care Joost.

I just wonder who got to the fire first.   ;)

Maybe they should have made a TV series on both bands with the plots like Dick Dastardly & Muttley and the Wacky Races. One band would cheat and win one day while the other band would cheat and win the next day. Take care.

Maybe that's it, then.


Anyway, here's a nice live performance of Darlin'...

Here's a BEACH BOYS rendition of the MERLE HAGGARD classic "Okie From Muskogee." I wish that the picture and sound quality was better. Take care and ENJOY!

How's it going Joost, my fellow BEACH BOYS fanatic? How's The Netherlands treating you? I take it that you knew that Eddie and Alex Van Halen were born in The Netherlands. Eddie was born in Nijmegan, The Netherlands and Alex was born in Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, The Netherlands. Take care Joost.

The Wilsons have some Dutch blood too. Their mother Audree Korthof Wilson's grandfather Aart Arie Korthof was a Dutchman who immigrated to the US in 1885.

Hi Joost! You are correct my friend! According to the book THE NEAREST FARAWAY PLACE, BRIAN WILSON,THE BEACH BOYS AND THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EXPERIENCE by Timothy White, on page 62, Aart Arie Korthof, at age 19, immigrated to the U.S. from Amsterdam aboard the S.S. Anchoria liner on 5 August 1885. Take care Joost.

1964: The Beach Boys made their TV debut on 'The Ed Sullivan Show' on US TV where they performed 'I Get Around' and 'Wendy'.

I'm surprised they weren't asked to change "made it with another guy" to something more benign.  ;)
