Message for Brian Hatt. Regarding Lucky 45's was there a 45 issued by Hickory Wind, according to Billboard this was to be among the fist six issue's on Lucky.

I remember there was always a short guy who worked at the Orange store, he sure knew a thing or two about classic guitars - also, there was a time they sold Orange Beach Buggys...no kidding! I remember Fleetwood Mac buying truck loads of Orange amps - sure sounded good...and loud!

The picture Taken at Orange Studios in NewCompton St. In the early 70's was of myself and i think either Carl or Dennis Wilson, but it was a long time ago so im not sure. IT was not Brian though. Brian Hatt.Former Engineer/Director Orange Studio,s.

Man, it is pathetic that the key members of the Beach Boys are not recognized, even on music websites. It's Carl Wilson in this photo. Just Google his name and you'll see.
This looks like 1971-73 era, when Carl guided the group to some of its most inventive and under-appreciated albums without brother Brian.
