Good stuff. Spirit in the sky, used to love that song. Norman was a one hit wonder, IIRC. He took his dividends and purchased a ranch somewhere.
If you don't know where you're going, then any path will get you there.

Big back story here. The Beach Boys and I share the same alma mater. In fact, 9 of my family members, including myself graduated from Hawthorne High School. Two of my uncles used to hang out in the Wilson's garage and watch them practice in the late '60's. They played at my younger uncle's graduation ceremony. When I was there, I had a P.E. coach named Jim Bunyard for maybe a semester. He was also, IIRC, the football coach. In my local HHS forum, there is a recollection written by coach Bunyard that follows:
Coach Bunyard vs Carl Wilson
I remember this conversation I had with Carl Wilson like it was yesterday.
Carl was a sophomore in my P.E. class, and in those days it was a mortal sin not to dress for P.E. (a non strip). I could never get Carl to dress for my P. E. class. When, on those rare occasions, he did dress for class he would come out wearing his cowboy boots and carrying his guitar. During class he would sit on the bench play his guitar, never taking part in any class activity.
One day I decided to have a man to man talk with Carl, so I sat down beside Carl and told him he was probably going to fail P.E. Carl says to me" coach thats ok, I really don't like P.E." So I ask Carl what he wanted to do with his life. Carls' response was, "coach all I want to do is learn how to play this guitar and join a band". My great bit of advice to him was, "Carl you are never going to make a living playing that g-----d guitar. You would be smart to put that guitar in a closet some place, and go find a real job. Ten years from now I will probably see you up on Hawthorne blvd. selling pencils or something".
Boy, some advice. By the way, I did give him an "F" in P.E.
Coach Bunyard
Another little interesting tidbit is that even though the Beach Boys wrote so much surf music, the only member who surfed was Dennis. I believe he was a diver as well. He died in Marina Del Rey, about 10 miles from where he grew up. IIRC (I use that a lot because I'm too lazy to look it up, so I rely on my feeble memory), he was on his boat in the Marina. He had been drinking and dove down under his boat for some reason or another and drown. I remember hearing the news, but don't recall the year, but it was shortly after I graduated high school.

Re: whats in your headphones?
Used to play this years ago. Tonight, it jumped in my head, so I started trying to remember how to play it. I know it is in C6 tuning. Alot coming back, so I'll just keep at it.

Great story Jim. I bet Coach Bunyard enjoyed eating some crow.
