KC Vibrations
The Beach Boys were in Kansas City on Wednesday to do some recording. No, they weren't making a new album, just a jingle for a Sonic Corp. ad campaign. The session took place at Evolution Audio, 515 W. 39th St. The Beach boys are Bruce Johnston (left), Adrian Baker (third from left) and Mike Love (right.) Joining in were Sonic executives Cliff Hudson (second from left) and Ken Keymer.

If Every Corner Had A Sonic ...
Drive-in restaurants and the sound of the Beach Boys both mean summer, and this year Sonic Industries has combined the two.
For the last two years, Beach Boys classics have been the background in the Sonic TV commercials, but this year they've gone one better.
Starting Saturday, this summer's national radio and TV ads feature a new song by the Beach Boys, and they've added two new singers to the band.
Original members Mike Love, Bruce Johnston and Adrian Baker asked Sonic's Chief Executive Officer Cliff Hudson and Chief Operating Officer Ken Kemyer to sing along.
Hudson has sung and played guitar for years, and admitted that if he wasn't in his current job, he very well would have his own rock band.
Keymer, also a guitar player and singer, played Beach Boys songs as a teen-ager n a rock band.
Pop Star Opens John Menzies New Burton Store
Adrian Baker busy signing records.
John Menzies opened their new store in Burton yesterday and the premises in St. Modwen's Walk were packed to capacity when pop star Adrian Baker made a personal appearance and for more than an hour signed autographed photos.
Store manager Mr. David Smith, said the opening had gone according to plan and that the extra effort made by staff during the past two weeks to get everything ready had been worthwhile.
About 25 members of staff have been recruited for the store from the Burton area—including Saturday sales girls.
The spacious new store offers a wide selection of books, toys, records and stationery and John Menzies are offering several pre-Christmas offers in all departments.
But the highlight of yesterday's opening was the appearance of Adrian Baker—successful with a recent hit with the record “Sherry” one of the new numbers featured on a newly released album “Into A Dream” which was played in the store throughout his visit.
Adrian spent most of his time at the store signing autographs and chatting with the many of hundreds of youngsters who waited patiently to see him.
One secret he did unfold—and that was he hoped to release a new record in January.
Mr. Smith said it was hoped that personal appearances by other personalities would be arranged between now and Christmas at the new store.
