Blondie Chaplin
Blondie Chaplin is pleased to officially announce that he has been invited by Brian Wilson to guest on several dates on Brian's new tour including opening night in Florida, and dates in New York City, Montclair NJ, Las Vegas, LA & Oakland.

Okay, well if Brian's management adds Ricky Fataar to the bill too, then we'll know they really are just trying to f*** with Mike Love.  

As I mentioned in the other thread, I'm planning to catch the Oakland show, so this should be fun to see. I've never seen Blondie Chaplin, and I technically saw Ricky Fataar when he sat in with Brian and Al in Oakland in 2007 (at the same venue!). Cool stuff. Only bummer is that this stage is getting pretty crowded and we're probably not going to see any one person with a ton of lead vocals.

All things (and box sets) considered, any takers that they might be adding "Wild Honey" back into the setlist for those dates...?


What kind of range does Blondie still have?

[Phoenix]

Very close to his old range!

Oh yeah...I think he could still pull WH off...easily. Hell, give him Darlin' while he's at it!


Leaving This Town...Let The Wind Blow...YNAMOHTSA...Funky Pretty?    


(Truth be told, he'll probably see 2, 3 leads at most. Maybe a few partials. But...you never know...)
