HERE IS WHY CHUCK WILLIAMS IS BB1. |
Al Jardine thanked him for getting him back in the band after a long hiatus. (More on that story tomorrow.)
Mike Love thanked him for everything he's done to help make the 50 year reunion possible and told him to drop the aka from now on and just go as BB1..... "because that's who you are".....The Beach Boys Number one fan for over 40 years.
Bruce Johnston asked BB1 about the set for the Bowl that day and BB1 said joking around, "Hey Bruce, maybe we should skip Disney Girls, what do you think?" Bruce thought about it, then agreed the song was more for LA... not Santa Barbara and dropped his own song from the list.
Brian Wilson was sitting at the piano and BB1 noticed his left hand vibrating a little so asked if that was the hand he used to write Surfer Girl and In My Room!" Brian looked at him, shook his head, Yes and said, "I like your face."
....More to come, stay tuned tomorrow.

BEACH BOYS 1983 SPIRIT OF AMERICA TOUR WITH CHUCK AKA BB1, SHARRIE AND GENE.
The Beach Boys 50 year reunion tour is under way and will be playing at the Santa Barbara Bowl May 28th. With all the excitement going on, I just can't help but reflect on their 1983, Spirit of America Tour 30 years ago. ![]() |
Chuck Williams aka BB1, Sharrie and Gene at The Beach Boys Spirit of America tour in 1983. The reason we didn't have to wear our backstage passes, is because when we're with Chuck, we didn't need to. |
The Capitol Years, was a Beach Boys box set, only available as an import in the United States for $99.99. However, Chuck aka BB1, called his old friend, Mike Love, who arranged for him to be the first to have it.
The Spirit of America Tour came to the Orange County Fair Grounds in August of 1983 and since Gene and I lived in Laguna Beach at the time, Mike sent 3 backstage passes to Chuck... It was an intimate setting after the concert, with a catered dinner and drinks and I have to say that when Mike Love took my hand and looked at me with those intense blue eyes, I developed a little
crush on him.
Gene in his classic 1983 Spirit of America
Beach Boy cap, singing, Caroline No.
I don't know what ever happened to Gene's t-shirt, but I know Chuck still has his in pristine condition and pulls it out for special occasions.
This one too, is a classic, still hanging around and I bet if you live in Santa Barbara you might
catch Chuck wearing it while cruising in his Cobra.
I will never forget Dennis Wilson singing FOREVER, that warm California August night and tears filled my eyes, truly believing Gene felt the same way about me.
Mike Love and Bruce Johnston really getting down .
With the upcoming 50th Anniversary tour and album, it's appropriate to pay tribute to one of the founding members of the band. R.I.P. Dennis!
The Drummer. A new movie being made about Dennis Wilson follows the last six years of his life, leading up to his death in 1983.
I know Chuck will be at the Santa Barbara Bowl concert next week and will take pictures for me to post, so stay tuned for more fun, fun, fun stories about Chuck aka BB1 and the Beach Boys live.
