You're talking my era Debbie, though I must personally confess a preference for the Liverpool lads. I really love how you have blended so many of the Beach Boy hits into this poem while still maintaining true rhyme.
A great poem and a great memory, but all so long ago. It almost took me back to my teens.

Bob, thank you so much! And you couldn't have got any payment, I'm so sorry. As ever, I really appreciate your kind, encouraging comments and stars, even more so now. Take care Debbie
Comment from Isabel Fontes
I really enjoyed your musical poem!
The Beach Boys have always been one of my favorite bands, and their music brightened up my Sunday mornings when I lived with my parents.
It brings back good memories.
Your poem had an excellent structure, and the rhymes and rhythm of the words were very well crafted. It made for a great reading experience! Thank you so much for sharing.

Comment from Bobby Jo
This was fun. I like listening to them still. I have a friend who was a cousin to one of them boys. Not sure which one though. Too bad they couldn't all be California Boys

Just the way it was Debbie. Well said, and well written. Aaaaaah those rocknroll years. And those who didn't know, know now. Great verse. But Debbie, you're not old enough !!!

Comment from Diana Harris
A beautiful tribute to the Beach Boys and their fun songs. Congratulations on the all time best recognition too! I love their music-it is soothing, and makes you want to dance in the sand in your bikini. (Which NOBODY wants to actually see!). Thank you for sharing. Diana

Comment from Terry Broxson
Debbie, this is a well-written poem in your series of Rock and Rollers. My favorite Beach Boys songs were Fun, Fun, Fun, and The Sloop John B. I remember when I was in high school, I won a radio contest, and the prize was their latest album, Surfer Girl. Excellent. Terryl.

Thank you so much, Terry, for your kind review and interesting comments, much appreciated! And well done on you for that award! I bet you treasure it. They instantly create a happy vibe don't they! I think I know who you were referring to in your last post - is she ok now? Take care Debbie x

Debbie, I purposely didn't disclose the name, as she shared with me what was going on. She is currently undergoing a series of tests to determine the extent of the problems.
It's not good, but she's a fighter. She knows people are interested in who the prayer is about.
I told her it's her story to tell if she decides to do that. Terry.

Hi Debbie, I love it when you write these poems
my sweet friend...they always bring back wonderful memories...
I lived in Florida for 21years...and I can remember walking on
the beach...and everyone was playing the Beach Boys on their
boom boxes...those were the days...
but I also remember how they fell out of the limelight...there
deaths...Brian's mental health problems...
they truly we're one of the most influential acts of the rock
era...earning them a place on the "100 Greatest Artist of all time" list...
I love your story told my sweet friend...and so love this picture...
very well written...earning you a six star review...love you...Linda xxoo

Wow, thank you so much for this wonderful review, Linda! I'm absolutely delighted you enjoyed and it triggered happy memories. They were an amazing group bringing such joy and yet the brothers - and Brian in particular - had a deeply troubled background. It always amazes me how much genius can emerge from pain and suffering. Thank you again, Debbie

your so welcome sweet girl...
they did have rough backgrounds...
so did their daughters...and other members of their family...their was a lot of talent there...love xxoo 🌼😘🤗🌼🙏💖
Comment from karenina
Darn! I just gave your Oscar Wilde poem the six...and just listening to "Good Vibrations" is enough to want me to leave, oh, another twenty here...
These were the songs of my generation and I admit to having several posters of these luscious young men on my wall...
(Oh, the music is good too! LOL...)
You do so much research for your poems, Debbie!
I want you to know it pays off in enjoyment for the reader and respect for your dedication!

Comment from barbara.wilkey
Thank you for sharing this very well written poem. I was a huge Beach Boys fan growing up. After my two little granddaughters went to bed the other night my son, his wife, and my husband and I played a game where you had to guess the name of the song and the group. I'm on vacation. Anyway, the only ones I got right were the Beach Boys. LOL

Comment from Ric Myworld
As I've often said, when it comes to poetry, I wouldn't know a sonnet from sorbet. But you've certainly taken me back to some happy beach music times when everything was fun. Thanks for sharing.
