as a young man, Howard spent endless hours listening to the Beach Boys on his AM Arvin Transistor Radio....his specialty was doing the Moonwalk to "Good Vibrations", it made all the neighbor girls giggle...

I added one or two. The Lovin Spoonful was one of them, also, I think.

correct... ...a very timely somg in my life, and one of my all time favorites....I was at that age, draft lotterys, long hair, Easy Rider was my hero...seems goofy these days, but it was serious sh!t in 1970.....nearly everything Neil Young is involved in is my favorite....
