My Take

As an early Beach Boys guitarist, David Marks carries a piece of West Coast music history that I find quietly moving. Growing up in Hawthorne as a neighborhood friend of the original members, he was there at the creation of that sun-soaked sound. What I like is that even after leaving the band he kept going, fronting the Marksmen and later studying formally at Berklee. He was never the marquee star, but he occupied a real corner of a golden era. I have a soft spot for these living witnesses to legendary moments; their presence reminds us those records were made by ordinary, devoted people.
