Trish.... I'm really dating myself here (smile) but Jan and Dean (as was Nancy Sinatra) were in my high school graduating class at L.A.'s University High School. Our Grad Nite entertainment consisted of Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra....

Whenever I tell people that I'm a huge Beach Boys and Jan & Dean fan (my online name stands for the Jan & Dean Lady-a nickname a record shop owner gave me because whenever I'd go to record shows, I'd ask for anything by Jan & Dean), people usually say I'm too young to remember them. That's true, but I still enjoy their music! In fact, I saw the Beach Boys in concert again this past May and really enjoyed the show. Then last Friday (Aug. 22), I saw Jan & Dean in concert! They were incredible! In fact, after the concert, Jan (who has brain damage from a car accident 31 years ago) comes out front, talks with the fans, sells merchandise (the proceeds of which go to the Jan Berry Center for the Brain Injured in Downey, CA), and signs autographs. Dean also signs autographs after the show, although it is a little harder to reach him. I'm not trying to name drop here but, I got both of their autographs, and talked briefly with both of them. Very nice guys, both of them! their music seems to be something that people of all ages enjoy, as I saw many "seniors" and alot of small children (3-4 years old) dancing and enjoying the show. Trish
