If you have a PayPal account, send the contribution to djsurfclown@bellsouth.net. If you don't have a PayPal account, go to www.PayPal.com and it's easy to set one up. (I was surprised at how easy it was.) After you set up the account, you just click on "Send Money", and it will walk you through the process. You will have the opportunity to put in a message with the payment. <BR/>VERY IMPORTANT: In the message, be sure to include: 1) The NAME AND EMAIL ADDRESS of the person you want Brian to call (if other than yourself,) 2) The PHONE NUMBER that you want Brian to call you/him/her at, and 3) When is the BEST TIME FRAME and date(s) to call. Please keep in mind that, the more flexible you can be, the easier it will be for Brian to reach the callee. Brian cannot be held responsible if the callee is not there when he calls, busy signal, etc. After Brian makes two attempts to call you/him/her, Brian will send you/him/her an email as a last resort, or he may leave a message if there is an answering machine at the phone numbers he's given. The latest date that Brian call call is 9:30pm PST, October 8th.<BR/>PayPal always sends me an email notifying me that someone has sent a payment. When I receive this email from PayPal that you have donated at least $100, I will forward it directly to Brian. Also, Brian and Melinda will match any donations under $100, even though it will not qualify you for "the call."<BR/>Thank you, and have fun talking with Brian Wilson!<BR/><BR/>-Jerry BoydRoger Owen Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05298172138307632062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12596260.post-1127825202078342572005-09-27T08:46:00.000-04:002005-09-27T08:46:00.000-04:00OK, if you talk the country charts, to which I pro...OK, if you talk the country charts, to which I profess some ignorance.<BR/> Her biggest "pop" chart hit was Mister Sandman, which got to #37. As for her albums, other than Trio (which went to #6) the big ones were Luxury Liner, Evangeline, Elite Hotel, and Roses in the Snow, all of which went gold and got into somewhere in the #20s, all before 1982. Not awful, I suppose. Wrecking Ball, one of my favorite discs, went to #94, which is fairly typical of her later output, commercially. I DO like her, you know, Eddie! I have a half dozen of her discs on viyl and probably the same on CD. (And she is a babe.)<BR/>My Whitburn Top Pop Albums 1995-1996 ranks her at #164, which at the time put her ahead of Joe Cocker, J. Geils. the Fifth Dimemsion, America and Styx. So, I'll concede the point. Grudgingly. If we're talking albums. I was thinking singles.Roger Owen Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05298172138307632062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12596260.post-1127821129545251532005-09-27T07:38:00.000-04:002005-09-27T07:38:00.000-04:00Roger!

From her early lp's she had quite a few gold albums, number one and top 10 singles, etc. I agree with you about the "recording artist" part, but still....EMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184610448953398696noreply@blogger.com
