FIGHT FAIR


Wind the clock back several decades and imagine a California summer of a much simpler time. Even if you weren’t around back then, it shouldn’t be tough to envision, as you’ve probably seen it before on television or in the movies—whether it’s Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello getting their fun in the sun in their “Beach Party” film series, or perhaps the ‘60s surfer girl comedic hit TV series “Gidget.” And chances are, you’re probably familiar with the era’s music, too: the upbeat, heavily melodic and beautifully harmonic compositions from hit-making artists like Jan and Dean or The Beach Boys.
