Well - hard to figure if this is worth a thread, but just in case...
Brian's Twitter feed just posted a link to a video a fellow named Kevin Thow did that went on Youtube some months back. In it, he tries to re-create Surf's Up with his guitar, what's on his laptop, Garage Band, and a few odds and ends he says he found online. I haven't listened to it all the way thru so will withhold judgement.
But what caught my eye was a comment I saw attached to the Tweet as posted on Facebook. It was from one John Morton. "You probably don't remember me Brian," it began, and I thought that it was going to be another of those stories connected to a gig or running into Brian at the Omaha Steaks warehouse or wherever he gets his beef. But this time, such was not the case.
Morton stated that, long ago, in a universe etc, he was hitchhiking with his girlfriend when Brian picked them up. As it happened, he was on his way to the studio to work on GV, and asked the hitchers if they'd like to come along. They did, and when it came time for the tapes to roll, Brian handed Morton a tambourine.
No telling which of the GV sessions this might have been, and I have the distinct feeling this guy's name is on no sheets, but mayhap somebody may care to message him at FB and see if he has a funny story or two to tell...maybe even one that might pinpoint when it happened.
