Chuck Williams gets well wishes from Beach Boy Al Jardine before going into UCLA on July 22nd for Cancer treatment!

 

Gene, Sharrie, Ann, Chuck

On July 8th, BB1 went in to UCLA to have part one of his Cancer Treatment done. It was a great success. They were able to cut off the blood supply to the tumor with no negative results. Now the big test comes this Friday, July 22, when Chuck goes in for the real deal.  The Doctor will insert radioactive balls into the tumor and hopefully blast them to kingdom come. There's a 70% to 95% chance on the procedure working. There is no % on the treatment until they apply it to Chuck. Everyone else is no longer with us.  It's still to early to have an accurate % and we don't know how often Chuck will repeat the treatment just yet.  Please send "Good Vibrations Chuck's was this Friday and pray he comes through a big winner.

Here is a wonderful email I received from Chuck telling me about a phone call he received from Beach Boy Al Jardine. Al's words really lifted Chuck's Spirit and made him feel like a million bucks.  Maybe two million.  

Al Jardine and Chuck Williams, BB1

Cuz.  I just got a call from Beach Boy Al Jardine. He has heard the news through the Beach Boys network probably Mike or Bruce. He and Brian and Al's son Adam who is on Tour with Brian all wished me well on my up-coming procedures. It made my Day to hear The Beach Boys are a part of my A-Team support and Love group.

To me that means a lot. He also told me tonight when they perform he will try to send some Good Vibrations my way and a perfect song would be any song because he knows the Love I have for all the songs The Beach Boys have.

So true and REEEEEL. He is in talks with people that want to start a Radio Station and told me that he thought I would be the best DJ for the Beach Boys could ever have----I agreed.

I will call you from the "W" Hotel when I get down there on July 21, 2016, at check-in time and I get situated in my Suite the Hotel calls it the Wonderful Suite pretty cool that is one of my favorite songs from SMILE 1965-6. Hope All Is Well  XXX/OOO   BB1

PS...
In regards to the picture posted:  We are all standing in front of Chuck's brand new 1976 Jeep Cherokee that he bought from his salary at The Shoe Inn that Chuck owned and operated for three years and sold Concert tickets to bring in more sales another Brilliant and Profitable Idea by Chuck. The store was located in the Montecito Village close to Chuck's Estate and his Parents Estate. He gave the Jeep to Nancy Chuck's younger sister for her Wedding Present in August 1976 she was moving to Colorado and needed a 4 Wheel Drive Vehicle. Chuck already had started his Car Collection and owned Three Cars plus had all the access to his Friend Mike Love's Cars who Mike put Chuck in charge of his Collection while The Beach Boys were on Tour. He actually restored Mike's 1962 Bentley S2 and his 1949 MG TC. The MG TC ended up on The Beach Boys Album Cover "ENDLESS HARMONY" soundtrack to a Beach Boys Story dedicated to Dennis and Carl Wilson. The Shoe Inn was early for its time and shoes sales were flat in Montecito so Chuck came up with Marketing of selling Concert Tickets through his Shoe Store and this was before Ticket Master Chuck even had the Idea of using The Beach Boys song "Take A Load Off Your Feet" that The Beach Boys gave him permission to use at no cost because he and Mike had become such good Friends. He was producing all the Shows at the Santa Barbara County Bowl. His first Show at the Bowl was in 1973 with The Beach Boys you could say he was a bit ahead of his time. Needless to say Shoe Sales took Off. All the customers got a one on one lesson on The Beach Boys and came in to meet Chuck and learn how Chuck worked with the most popular Band in the world at the time and bought Shoes at the same time. His Dad thought it was a Brilliant Idea. The Shoe Inn was Noel's Idea for Chuck to work in sales. Chuck wanted something different of course. He pulled it off without hurting his Dad's Idea. The rest is History.
