	11:02am calzone!: Here comes the summer!
	11:09am kw: Wow! The Surf Piranhas! That has to be a first
	11:14am jmd: Hey Michael, I just looked an your mug shot. Yipes! The drinking really takes its toll on your face. The mustache is pretty great, though.
	11:33am jmd: I have a question. Is there documentation for the total number of studio hours to record/edit/mix Good Vibrations? I've read info regarding dates, musicians, cost, but not seen a specific number of hours. I'm curious to how much time went into the #1 hit of all #1 hits. Thanks.
	11:43am scott: My frequently-asked Beach Boys question: Seriously, what's up with Mike Love?
	12:20pm Chris: Another great interview Michael! Get this ready for the Broadcast Hall of Fame! And to those who don't get the Beach Boys: your loss. Amazed at how their voices have held up. Takes a lot of vocal coaching and persistence.

	12:25pm gene sculatti: For a much ballsier "Summer Holiday," check pre-Bread Jimmy Griffin's version, on Reprise
	12:25pm Chris: @G Gotcha the first time thanks. Right about the double tapping too. I was overly excited.
	12:27pm Mike Sin: Fine interview, as usual, Michael. One piece of Beach Boys' history that I find really interesting is how much the popularity of Dennis Wilson's "Pacific Ocean Blue" solo LP has increased in the past 35 years. I didn't discover it until a few years ago.
	12:44pm EV Girl: Luvin' the Summer show!
	♥ 12:44pm Michael Shelley: Thanks!
	12:46pm Sonny Rickles: yeah - great show, Mike! Love the surf music!
	12:47pm jmd: Nice. It just isn't summer without Jonathan. Thanks!
	12:49pm Rob Foss: Michael, "The Beach Boys" per se are scheduled to play in Waco, TX and a casino in Miss. i early October. Looks like the Mike/Bruce group will be back sooner than expected. The original 5 wouldn't be the creation playing Waco.
	12:49pm Chris: Whatever happened to remix novelty music? Thanks Mike!
	12:52pm chris v: Will some Honeys be coming along?
	12:57pm Chris: Shout out to Steve Jobs for making my modern transistor radio! Summer sounds best on a portable. With Michael at the turntable and Rex on the horizon. Perfect.
	12:59pm Stephen: Michael, Is it possible that some day you might interview Blondie Chaplin on your show?
