16 - Surfer Girl session: Surfers Rule/South Bay Surfer/Boogie Woodie/Our Car Club/
       The Surfer Moon/Hawaii/Your Summer Dream/The Rocking Surfer/Catch A Wave/
       In My Room [Western]
       [Note: That the band could record so many songs from scratch in a single
       three-hour session is highly unlikely - David Marks remembers at least two of
       the Surfer Girl tracks being recorded at other studios (e.g. "The Rocking
       Surfer" at Wentzell's in Downey), and also that Alan appeared on some of the
       Surfer Girl tracks listed but not others: he plays bass on "Boogie Woodie",
       "Surfer's Rule" & "Catch A Wave" and sings on "In My Room". That Alan
       would sit in the corridor for half a session is about as likely as ten songs being
       recorded in one go. However, definitive information as to the actual dates is
       lacking. The best guess is that there were four seperate sessions: four songs
       with Alan on board, four (or five) songs without Alan, the Downey session and
       the two tracks with Hal Blaine present. The 9/2 session for Little Deuce Coupe
       is similarly questionable, as David remembers some of the titles, but not others.]

1
   Carol Kaye's claim (on her website and elsewhere) to have played guitar on this song is not
  borne out by either the AFM sheet or the memory of those present.
2
 For this, and the next few shows, Mark Groseclose drummed as Dennis had broken his
ankle and couldn't perform.
3
 On this session, The Beach Boys provided vocal and instrumental backing.
4
 Brian dropped out of this tour early on: he was replaced by Alan.
5
 Although this show is dated as the 4th in Elmer Marks' tour journal, Chet Orr recalls it as being
the 2nd.
6
 Yes, they really did play three gigs on one night. Here's how: according to a local paper, it was
grad night for a number of Bakersfield schools and they shared the "talent" at a number of all
night parties.
7
 Brian didn't make the trip to Hawaii.
8
   Although he played most of the tour, Brian seems to have returned to LA on July 24th and
August 5th. He certainly did on August 27th.
9
 Although noted as the 5th by Elmer Marks, a newspaper article dates it to the 8th. Further, the
accompanying photo, though of poor quality, shows Carl, David, Mike and what appears to be
Alan rather than Brian (crewcut and rather short).
10
 While driving from this show to the next, David announced he was quitting the band. Brian was
present.
11
 Miming "Surfin' USA" & "Things We Did Last Summer": their first national TV appearence.
12
 David's last show.
13
 Brian is also listed on the AFM sheet for this session, so chances are he played on it as well as
sang (keyboards, probably).
#
 Although Brian is listed on the AFM sheet for these sessions, he was also on tour, according
to David Marks' biography. However, a recently discovered photo (note #7 above) casts
doubt on his presence for at least one show.
