catbirdseat Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 The house just left of center at the top of the photo is the one in which I grew up and where my mother still lives. I still have not been able to get in touch with her. I think she has been evacuated. I'm pretty sure the house is going to be okay though. Story and Pictures The one that went down at the left side belonged to Lou Wright. His son had a rock band called Honk that rehearsed in the garage. Honk provided the sound track to the surfing movie Endless Summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrashador Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Hope all are ok. Endless Summer 2 the soundtrack to the (original) Endless Summer was by The Sandals :geek: Five Summer Stories is the film actually. The soundtrack to the film is by Honk. "High in the Middle" is a cool tune replete with cornball lyrics: "Traded my Porche for a cow and a fiddle tooooooooo!" Sorry to digress. Again I hope all are ok down there. The Honk reference hit a funny bone I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted June 1, 2005 Author Share Posted June 1, 2005 I couldn't remember whether it was Five Summer Stories or Endless Summer, so I googled it. The source I came up with was wrong! I thought the Internet was always the gospel truth! Honk used to do free concerts at UC Irvine. They'd snake power cords out into the brown, grassy fields out back of the campus and jam for the students. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catbirdseat Posted June 2, 2005 Author Share Posted June 2, 2005 So I guess you didn't eat a lot of gubbmint cheese growing up? We were well off, but not rich. My Dad, an architect, built the house in 1962 for $40,000. Much of the finish work he did himself. My Mom put her entire pension and life savings of $15,000 into it, and there was an 18 year mortgate of $25,000. The mortgage was paid off in 1980. Since then there has been a significant amount of appreciation in property values, to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
