Previous Episode: Trading Cards. Ouch!

Hi to Everyone, my friends, fans, and followers. I am your host, "Linda Gaye Scott" and very excited to be here FINALLY for our 2nd Episode.

which is ... WHY I was on the cover album of "Jan and Dean Take Linda Surfin".

I'd like to say a BIG THANK YOU to All of My listeners. YOU mean a great deal to me. You are extraordinary & have introduced me to a new chapter in my life that I never knew existed. Thru all of you, I'm learning about a different world I don't think I recognized, probably because I was such a private person.

Therefore with All of my heart, I want you to know"YOU ALL are AMAZING"!! Let's stay together and travel this Very Bumpy Road, Indeed.

Whoa “WELCOME”. !!!

In my first episode, I talked about my childhood surrounded by movie stars, and my grandmother being an award-winning actress.

In This, my 2nd Episode I'll introduce my high school years, experiences, crazy things that happened & WHY I was on the cover album of "Jan and Dean Take Linda Surfin".

IT ALL STARTED when Jan and Dean attended University High school (Uni-Hi) they were on the football team with adjoining lockers and "together" started singing and harmonizing in the showers with a number of other football players. Life was Good and Fun abounded.

Jan and Dean joined together in 1959 they recorded their first hit,“Baby Talk”.

As they became enthralled with the popularity of surfing they recorded a #1 hit in 1963 called “Surf City”!

Also, Little Old Laday from Pasadena was #3 and Dead Man's Curve was #8 and the "LINDA" recording reached #28 in Billboard's top 100!!

AND With That, They introduced a Dynamic, one-of-a-kind sound, ESTABLISHING their own place AS musical history was born.

Before I go further I'd like to talk a little more about my life, because I know you all are curious to learn more and know me better and why I was involved with Jan and Dean

In the 1st episode. I often mentioned my father/my dad. So I'd like to talk a bit about my father. He was tall, very handsome & had an aura that was Unmistakably Powerful, and Overwhelmingly Charming. You name it and He Had It ALL. !!!

I loved him and frankly, at times, was ah struck by his presence because when he entered a room Everyone would Stop and Look or even stare.

He was a highly successful businessman as well as acquired vast amounts of real estate in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, and West L.A. !!

My mom discovered the most incredible woman and that was Mabel from Mobile, Alabama. She was the best cook, housekeeper, and Assistant that our family had ever known as she became an Integral Part, big time and I loved her like a 2nd mom..

Now, When dad was home, One of his favorite things was to have big parties with his friends like The Mayor of Los Angeles, Sam Yorty & his family & so on. Our parties and get-togethers were like a Who's Who socially.

Switching gears & back to high school, I was a full-on teenager and on my 16th birthday dad surprised me with a slick black chevy that was quite a car, I mean it had all the extras, plus a wolf whistle (sounds) and definitely a show stopper. In the summer before my senior year, dad sold my chevy making me very upset. Although not long after, he surprised me with another car this time it was a white corvette with a turquoise racing stripe right down the center. It was exceptional and I loved it. Only thing was, my dad's absence was like a giant hole in our home life. That may be the reason why he bombarded us with material gifts.
