If summer had a sound it would be the music of The Beach Boys…surf, sun and California dreaming.  Using performance and interview clips, the program will focus on The Beach Boys “sunniest” years from 1962-1967.  We’ll trace the arc of the Beach Boys’ career from “Surfin’ U.S.A.”, “Fun, Fun, Fun” and “California Girls” to the more mature Pet Sounds, “Good Vibrations” and the abandoned Smile project.  Surf’s Up!

Presenter:  After a rewarding career in advertising sales, Gary Wenstrup retired and developed courses on the Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel and Motown Records for the Continuing Education Department of College of DuPage.  He has lectured at over 200 libraries across the country.  Gary’s Beatles presentation was deemed “The Best of The Best” by the Library Administrators Conference of Northern Illinois (LACONI).  He is also a reoccurring guest on the popular podcast “Something About The Beatles.”
