Box set: two grumbles

[Cam Mott]

Does anyone know if Parks was able to contribute any acetates, etc.?  What is his take on the missing lyrics--his memory?  Has anyone ever asked him and gotten him to be rigorous?  Any pages with pencil scribbles in the old whatnot?  Is he, um, resourced out?

Are you Don Cunningham?

He presented them an acetate of "Do You Dig Worms?" with Carl's lead vocal on the verses, but they didn't use it because it wasn't an MP3.

Cam Mott!  I remember you.  Beamish lad, worked in that drug store, tending the soda pump, spooning the malt, serving the sundaes to the lasses.  I even remember the old man ran the store...didn't hear too well, almost poisoned my ma once.  But you...you were a spot of sun.  Great to see that you are about.  

[Cam Mott]

'Tis you and 'tis I. We 'tis.

Now I'm the old man running the store. Good to see you still have a hand in.

We is Our!  This board is a marvel.  The information.  My God, the information.  I fear my speed
is behind by a couple of powers of ten.  (My "roll your own" SMiLE is Don't Worry Baby.)  What
do you make of the "Dr. Tim" contributor?

Lovely gentleman. Or is he? [organ flourish]

[Cam Mott]

No seriously. Lovely contributor.




Except for the flourish of his organ. Or not?

Shameful plug for Mr. Cunningham. Essential reading for the entry level, mediocre, or advanced Beach Boys fan:

We don't share the same politics, but I don't hold it against him. And even if our politics were the same, I still wouldn't hold it against him!

Organ? A Farfisa Combo Compact, if you must know.  Like Sam the Sham used.
Yes it's lovely.

[D Cunningham]

Agreed.  A gentleman.  It's just that I read some old posts by you and you reminded me of someone.  Insightful...humorous...and a fine writer.  And here you are, Dr. Tim, with the pumpkin-hued blazer, navy blouse, and, well, Farfisa.  Alas.  (Please put on some pants.)
