Jane GS of Reading, Writing, Working, Playing mentioned that she didn’t know The Beach Boys song which mentioned Steinbeck and Charley. It’s from their 1973 Holland album, if you don’t know the album do yourself a favour and listen to it. Here’s another wee taster to be getting on with!

Katrina,
Cool! I do not know this song either. Wow! When I played it for Ken, he shook his head and said “It must be their more recent work.” I said, “Yeah, like 1973 recent.” I love the “nature and environment” theme.
Very interesting! I’ll look up this album.
Thanks!

Judith,
I can’t tell you how amazed I am that people in the US don’t know these Beach Boys songs! I think they must have been more popular in Europe at that time than they were in their own home. I hope you have fun listening!
I have a copy of Holland but I hasn’t come out of the case for ages. Thank you for the reminder!
Fleur,
Ah nostalgia! Ye cannae beat it! Enjoy.
