Attending a 'fun-in-the-sun' Beach Boys concert has become a bit of a mid-summer tradition for me in recent years. I look forward to it as almost a mini-trip to enjoy the sounds of a beach vacation and a three to four hour escape from the stress and pressure of real life. As the encore began with "Kokomo" it was apparent that it had, yet again, been effective and even though it was time to leave the island fun, I could do so relaxed and recharged.
If you don't get a chance to catch The Beach Boys on their summer tour and are able to stop by The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio, you will be able to catch their special exhibit “Catch a Wave: The Beach Boys, the Early Years,” scheduled to run from June 22 to December 31, 2007. It is a tribute celebrating the music of the band that defines summer and fun.
