9-9-DEAN-COUSIN-BRUCIE-ARTICLE
Hello Cousins!
Didn’t the music of The Beach Boys and Jan and Dean make you feel good? It gave you a feeling of freedom and the desire to hit the surf & sand. Their success was a rare mixture of music and culture. Jan and Dean met in high school and developed a life-long friendship as well as pioneering the “California Surf Sound. Our Special Visitor this week will be Dean Torrence (Jan and Dean). The duo met Brian Wilson and that’s when their surf boards really rode the waves.
Got a moment- check this (partial) chart list of Hits: Surf City”, (number One), “Drag City”, “Dead Man’s Curve”, “The Little Old Lady From Pasadena”. They scored 16 Top Forty Hits with an amazing total of 26 chart entries between 1958 – 1966. Cousins, Surfs-Up…… this Saturday 9/10 – when Dean Torrence visits the Cuz on WABC MusicRadio. Bring your own towel!
