An Hour on Sunday: Creating Moments of Transformation and Wonder5 reviews
Nancy Beach

Zondervan, 2004

An Hour on Sunday
This is one of the most delightful "how to" books I have read in a long time! This book will help both ministers and lay leaders in the planning of the Sunday morning service. The suggestions given are sound, biblical, and can apply to both a traditional setting or a more contemporary setting. The reader is challenged to make the worship hour on Sunday morning more meaningful by first ... 		  
  







  
  
Heroes And Villains: The True Story Of The Beach Boys30 reviews
Steven Gaines

Da Capo Press, 1995

Read this one first, then read "Wouldn't It Be Nice"
I read this book recently and thoroughly enjoyed it - Looks like Steven Gaines did a good job, extensively researched, and it reads well...but I don't believe some of it after reading Brian's book. I just finished Brian's version, "Wouldn't It Be Nice," and enjoyed that even more, especially after the preparation from the other book - I recommend reading both in that order. I grew up in ... 		  
  







  
  
Catch a Wave: The Rise, Fall, and Redemption of the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson30 reviews
Peter Ames Carlin

Rodale Books, 2007

Beach Boy fan's delight
This book adds more information to the saga of the legendary Beach Boys, Brian Wilson's angst and the constant push-pull between his creativity and the economic needs of the band and music industry. There are some surprising insights here that haven't been captured in any of the previous Beach Boys chronicles. Having attended some of the mid-70s Beach Boys comeback concerts, I can say they were ...

People's Choice Guide Cancun 2008 - Cancun Travel Guide & Survey3 reviews
Eric Rabinowitz

Turbulence Music Corp., 2008

BEST CANCUN GUIDE AROUND!
This is definitely the most accurate book out there, as the others don't like Frommers and Fodors don't list every restaurant or hotel. This fantastic book doesn't only list restaurants and hotels, but also clubs, bars, great information about transportation, and many other great things. It is definitely worth a lot more than the price you're getting it for. It's a must have book! I highly ... 		  
  







  
  
The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds (33 1/3)5 reviews
Jim Fusilli

Continuum International Publishing Group, 2005

Pet Sounds is great
I'm a huge fan of Fusilli's crime novels(Hard,Hard City;Closing Time; etc.)so I tried this book, even though I'm not much of a Beach Boys fan. It is AMAZING! Fusilli describes Brian Wilson, the album, Pet Sounds, that changed his life, and tells us why it's a great album. By the time you are finished with this book, you want to listen to the album to see if it is as great and unusual as Fusilli ... 		  
  







  
  
Kauai Underground Guide: And Free Hawaiian Music CD (Kauai Underground Guide)19 reviews
Lenore W. Horowitz, Mirah A. Horowitz

Papaloa Press, 2007

Find the BEST hidden spots on Kauai!
The book contains a great deal of information about Kauai's best hidden places and how to discover them on your own. It is a great resource for people who prefer peace and natural beauty without crowds or commercialism. However, tours are sometimes the only way to explore the places that make Kauai so special (for example boat tours of the Na Pali coast, helicopter tours, or hiking tours of the ...

Pat Conroy

Dial Press Trade Paperback, 2002

Beach Music
This is a good read for Pat Conroy fans. My husband wanted a hardcover of this book. It is one of his favorites. It was published in 1995. The copy we received is in great shape. I am very pleased with this purchase. 		  
  







  
  
The Beach Boys: The Definitive Diary of America's Greatest Band on Stage and in the Studio15 reviews
Keith Badman, The Beach Boys

Backbeat Books, 2004

The Beach Boys' most in-depth book
Most casual fans prefer the "human" orientated bios, and that's fine - "Heroes and Villains" is probably the best straight Beach Boys biography available. Hardcore fans and musicians will froth at the mouth for this volume that goes into painstaking but never dull details of how such masterpieces as "Pet Sounds", "Good Vibrations" and all the great tunes by this most underappreciated band came ... 		  
  







  
  
WILLIAMS LAKE WAS ONCE THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE2 reviews
Bob Boan

Verbal Pictures Press, 2008

North Carolina Shaggers & All Shaggers Everywhere
Boy, oh boy, I must say that this is the greatest book for the time and for shaggers (dancers). Even if you have never, ever visited the Williams Lake Club you will still find it very funny and true to the facts as to what went on during the era. I usually read a chapter at the time at night, but could not put this book down. The characters are true to form. Love this book and it would make ...

The Lost Beach Boy: The True Story of David Marks one of the founding members of the Beach Boys12 reviews
Jon Stebbins, David Marks

Virgin Books, 2007

Fantastic and insightful book on the Beach Boys early days and the price of fame
The early history of the Beach Boys is usually given short shrift by rock writers. As a result, many Beach Boys fans are unaware that David Marks was a member of the band for almost two years and played on the group's first five albums. Jon Stebbins and David Marks insightful book rectifies this oversight and gives us a rich and rewarding look at America's favorite bands formative years. Early ... 		  
  







  
  
Complete Guide to the Music of the Beach Boys (Complete Guide to their Music)5 reviews
Andrew G. Doe; John Tobler

Omnibus Press, 2004

Compact size, much info
A compact guide to the music of the Beach Boys, whose CD catalog has been neglected and mangled. A great overview of all of their songs and albums, some of which are the most important in rock history. This also tells the story of three brothers, their cousin, and neighbor. It covers their successes, trials, and tragedies. 		  
  







  
  
Inside the Music of Brian Wilson: The Songs, Sounds and Influences of the Beach Boys' Founding Genius4 reviews
Philip Lambert

Continuum International Publishing Group, 2007

Rock music collections will find it an invaluable exploration.
INSIDE THE MUSIC OF BRIAN WILSON: THE SONGS, SOUNDS, AND INFLUENCES OF THE BEACH BOYS' FOUNDING GENIUS is a pick any Beach Boys fan needs: while Brian Wilson's life has received extensive documentation in other biographies, here the focus is solely on his music, not his life - and what a welcome change that is, for fans of his sound. New stories cover the birth and evolution of Wilson's musical ...

Wouldn't It Be Nice: Brian Wilson and the Making of the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds (Vinyl Frontier series, ...18 reviews
Charles L. Granata

Chicago Review Press, 2003

ENTERTAININGLY THOROUGH INSIGHT TO A ROCK CLASSIC
Firstly this book is also known as "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times" here in Australia and other territories. I bought it 5 days ago (for a bargain price) to read on my train journey to and from work and finished it today. It is an amazing journey through a masterwork that was highly underated (at least domestically in the USA). It had one particular effect in that section about the early ... 		  
  







  
  
Jumpin' Jim's Ukulele Beach Party1 review
Jim Beloff

Flea Market Music, Inc., 2001

Lot's of fun!
I'm new at the ukulele and am enjoying many of Jumpin Jim's books. This one is filled with songs I can play and songs I aspire to play. The tunes are fun: many are familiar which makes it easier. Not all are politically correct... one song has lyrics about meeting a girl: "if her daddy's rich, I'll buy her a meal; If her Daddy's poor, I'll do as I like with her..." Yes, every now and ...
