Back in business with the return of the Internet to Houndstooth Hall. I’m not complaining that losing electricity for ten hours, losing cable for twenty-one hours, and having scattered leaf and small limb debris is what Hurricane Nicholas delivered. Trust me, no one knows better than I do how it can be worse.
Favorite movie? There’s only one ****, but that’s one more than most drummers appear in as an actor.

The Car who starred in 1971’s Two Lane Blacktop was a 1955 Chevy Sedan, and in honor of Tiny Tuesday, I modified what I could find at Walgreen’s, a tiny 1957 Chevy Bel Air. To give it a rough paint job similar to The Car’s, I blended charcoal, periwinkle, hunter green, sky blue, hippo grey, and ocean reef blue paints. Not an exact match, but just open the door to your imagination, and you can see The Driver and The Mechanic (aka, my Muse) putting in the miles before their next race.
So don’t put me down
But I’ve got the fastest set of wheels in town
When something comes up to me, he don’t even try
‘Cause if I had a set of wings, man, I know she could fly
ETA: **** How did I forget the beach movies?!? Dennis appears with the band in both of these, and I think there may have been another.
Film opening includes the Beach Boys with Annette.
Beach Boys appear at end of credits. At the very end of the song, Dennis has lines.
Another from Girls on the Beach
Third BB song from Girls on the Beach.
I haven’t seen any of those films. I didn’t know they existed!
I suspect you are not alone!
