I grew up on The Beach Boys. And before you start doing the math between my age, 36 btw, and when the Beach Boys were hitting it big let me explain! :) Until I was in 6th grade all I ever heard was The Beach Boys, The Temptations, etc, etc. It was all my parents listened to and therefore all I listened to. In 6th grade I somehow got a copy of Tears For Fears and The Beach Boys and the like fell to the wayside but until then I knew every word to every "oldie" song there was. So my childhood memories revolve around a lot of the "oldies".
I LOVE The Beach Boys! When I hear a song by them a few specific memories hit me. One is listening to their Christmas album while helping my Dad in our new addition to our house in Michigan. Another is driving with my Dad to his job site in Ft. Collins and listening to my Dad harmonize with their songs and whistle along. My Dad LOVES The Beach Boys. And I guess whenever I hear a Beach Boys song I immediately think of my Dad. I associate the two of them because my Dad is the one who introduced them to me so long ago!
And really that's not such a bad deal. One makes me think of the other and vice versa and both I love. But my Dad? Well, I love him so much more than any Beach Boys song! :)
