There were two great generations of Beachboys, and even though there are still beachboy concessions on Waikiki Beach today, the music and scene is nowhere near what it was back in the day. I hope you enjoy the clip. I have tons of interview footage "in the can." You should have interviewed Palika Pat Enos of our band, the smoking menehunes. Pat WAS one of the 50's/60's beach boys, and our band currently plays all the songs from that era. In fact, I periodically ask Pat to remember the "novelty" songs he and his tanned and muscular friends used to sing for the pretty tourist girls. He has some awesome stories to tell....Pat was there in Waikiki during the very heyday of the Hawaiian Beach boys. The "scene" may be long gone, but there are bands like ours that are still playing the music at least.
