Heyo.
This serves as both an announcement and as a final push in my donation campaign.
As soon as I’m able, I’ll be producing and publishing a special video series honoring Sunflower and its 50th birthday. It will be a track by track look at some of the things I’ve found interesting about the record over the years. Hopefully this will coincide with the launch of a website devoted to my Beach Boys projects. That was I can not only do videos, but also maybe podcasts and essays. It will be a great place for the thoughtful fan to come learn.
Here’s what you can look forward to:
Episode 1: Slip on Through — cricket cowbells, outdoor drums, Dennis Dragon’s impact on the feel of tracks.
Episode 2: This Whole World — country guitars, key changes, bass + drums in concert
Episode 3: Add Some Music — simplicity and complexity
Episode 4: Got to Know the Woman — reinventing the piano rocker, Mike’s vocal basslines at their apotheosis

There will be episodes for each track, plus the outtakes. And don’t forget, I’ll be doing a complete dissection and demonstration of what’s happening in All I Wanna Do.
Friends, this is the balm with which to salve the pains of waiting for a boxed set.
Now, all this will go down, but it will come sooner and with better production values if just a few more donors contribute to my fundraising campaign.

Please help. All donations go directly to Beach Boys content production.
Look for the website launch very soon!!!
