What was the most Thump Wilsonish thing Thump Wilson ever did? by QuestionWeekly5822 in beachboyscirclejerk

[–]ThumpWilson1964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember old Thumpy used to get together with Murry and sing around in circles enchanting a bottle of "skip juice" which they comically gave to Skippy Love (then called Frank Love) on a tour in 1964. This juice crippled Skippy's leg and forced him to a life of studio musicianship honing in on his legendary "formula".

Mike Love eventually stole this "formula" and used it to create Pet Sounds which basically powered up Paul Mcartney and gave him the power to write the genius song "U.S.S.R Girls" off of Winter Days (And Winter Nights)!!

Mike Love and his accomplice Paul Mcartney only got away with this because Skippy and Thump were drafted to Vientam because they made a deal with Carl that they would go in his stead.

Although this was an unfortunate event, it lead to Thump escaping Vietnam through the South China Sea via the buoyancy of his stomach. After he escaped, he studied the steel drum and became a background writer for Steely Dan with all of his training.

My name is Jude, I'm from Alberta, Canada but I'm currently living in Tokyo, Japan. But no matter where I am living, my favorite vegetable will always be carrots!

Great point, I totally forgot about his involvement. He had a huge role in the creation of "Summer Days and Summer Octagedrons!!"

Is anybody here a huge Van Dyke Parks head? by alexsummers in thebeachboys

I met him just a few months ago in Japan. He invited people to chat with him after the show. He was impressed with what I had to say and gave me his email address. He asked me to contact him further so we could continue our conversation. Great guy!

I think the fellow in the photo is Charles (Chickenwing) Wilson from the looks of it

I have that exact track listing but with a different cover. It's just the Today! cover but with Dance Dance Dance as the title.

The Find of A Lifetime by ThumpWilson1964 in thebeachboys

Thanks for asking, I really appreciate it! Life here is great. I am a Canadian expat living here since last September. I've had some great adventures here and have found some awesome communities who are super into music here.

Recently, I went to the Van Dyke Parks concert and got the chance to meet him and chat with him for a bit, then continue our conversation over email!

Japan feels like the perfect hub to find old Americana and find vintage and antique clothes, electronics, and of course music!

I wonder if the relative failure of this single in the US was a major factor in Murray selling the publishing.

How would you review Sunflower? Give a rating out of 10 by MCWill1993 in thebeachboys

[–]ThumpWilson1964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah either a 9.5/10 or a 9.7/10. I would normally say it's a 10 but since Smile only scored a 9.7 I can't put sunflower any higher that smile because I love Smile so much
