Pretty interesting Mark, hopefully a lot of people heard the interview. I would love for you to do something like that on say Allan Handelman's Show on 101.1. I first listened to his Sunday night show in Greenville years ago and he has a lot of musical related guests. In fact Davie Jones was on one night and talked about Jan and Dean during the interview. Just a thought.

Excellent interview, Mark. You are just a wealth of information.. it was a fascinating listen, and I hope you get more interviews like that in the future.
Thanks so much for posting that for those of us who weren't able to listen live.
IT was a great interview Mark. I found it humorous (and typical) that someone in the studio with the DJ thought what was being discussed, incorrectly thought they were Beach Boy songs, when in reality they were Jan and Dean.
And that's it in a nutshell really. Whenever you hear Jan & Dean tunes amongst people who don't know Jan and Dean, you instantly hear, oh that's the Beach Boys. For some reason or another, Jan & Dean fell thru the cracks and have been ignored for far too long, and I hope your work pays off and proves to everyone that Jan & Dean deserve their spot at the table, too.
P.S. - sorry to be a pain in the ass Mark, but is there anyway you may have another teaser for us to hear from the tribute album?
Great interview Mark and it was good that you were able to support Dean and his work so well whilst focussing on Jan's great work as composer (good to hear some myths explodded!) arranger and producer! Can't wait for the album
Great interview, man . . . Let's do the track!
Sky Saxon of the Seeds.
Mark,
I enjoy the final product (CD) - Well dones!
