Oh yes, i did too. But because they had the radio most of the time, i turned to actual song hits and music sheets for the young. While i did get to know and remember a some songs and singers, i remembered less than i have forgotten-). For ex., some words and the melody of 'Lemon tree' sticks to memory, and also some of 'Thanks for the memory' from a piano book, but i neither memorized who wrote or sang. i only remembered parts.
A movie by that name was made back then:
It featured the rascal Miki Dora who, despite, VERY serious character flaws, was a fascinating person. I recommend that you read his bio by Rensin: http://www.amazon.com/All-Few-Perfect-Waves-Audacious/dp/0060773332

I live in the zone called hurricane ally though we've been lucky not to get the big one, cross the fingers we're over due, in the mid 80's a storm named Gloria Cat 4 passed by producing 20+ foot swells glassed over to the max, the storm was well off shore so it didn't chop it up, the waves were picture perfect.. me and friend went down to the shore with boards in hand thinking we were going catch a few, ended up just looking at them to scared to paddle out along with bunch of other surfers lol... we have a peer at the beach a couple of dudes went out on it jumped off the end to get past the shore break.. No way was I doing such hehe..
Minneapolis has had its share of surf music enthusiasts such as the Trashmen:

I have a lot of their music, I suppose my favourite album of their's is "Pet Sounds", wonderful album and has been highly influential over the years to many artists...
They were some of the sounds I grew up to...

Not to burst too many of our teenage dream bubbles... but we might as well learn who we "really" listened to on most of the records we loved so much, and give the credit where it is truly due.
Kinda stinks to wake up in the real world, but here it is............................
Hal Blaine may well be the most profilic drummer in rock and roll history. He's certainly played on more hit records than any drummer in the rock era, including 40 #1 singles and 150 that made the Top Ten.
Eight of the records he played on won Grammys for Record of the Year. Blaine, who was born Harold Simon Belsky in 1929, became a professional drummer in 1948 and joined teen idol Tommy Sands' band in the late Fifties. He was the most in-demand session drummer in Los Angeles during the Sixties and early Seventies, and a list of musicians he played with reads like a who's who of popular music.
In 1961, Hal Blaine drummed on "Can't Help Falling in Love With You," one of Elvis Presley's most memorable sides, and he would play on Presley's film soundtracks throughout the Sixties. However, Blaine's best-known affiliation is with producer Phil Spector, where he served as the percussive backbone of the "Wrecking Crew"—the nickname that younger studio hands on the L.A. scene bestowed on themselves after the rock-hating old-timers complained they were "wrecking the business."
He was a key component of Spector's "Wall of Sound" production, which yielded such classic rock and roll hits as "Be My Baby," by the Ronettes, and "Da Doo Ron Ron," by the Crystals.
Blaine also established a fruitful relationship with Beach Boys leader Brian Wilson, for whom he served as the first-call session drummer. Blaine appeared on innumerable Beach Boys hits, ranging from "Surfer Girl" to "Good Vibrations." He also drummed on countless recordings by the cream of West Coast pop musicians, including Jan and Dean, the Mamas and the Papas, the Byrds, Johnny Rivers, the Association, Sonny and Cher, the Grass Roots, and Gary Lewis and the Playboys.
On the more "adult" side of the pop ledger, Blaine played drums on recordings by Frank Sinatra and Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.
By Blaine's own estimate, he performed on 35,000 recorded tracks over in a quarter century's worth of work.
He published his memoirs, Hal Blaine and the Wrecking Crew, in 1990.
