Title: The Celeste in Girl Don't Tell Me Post by: branaa09 on August 19, 2014, 02:53:34 PM I read the wonderful sessiongraphy by Craig on his website and I loved the fact that Brian used a Celeste on Girl Don't Tell Me. Was there a reason why it was used or how they were able to locate one? I even love the fact that it was even doubled by Brian as an insert!

But just to clarify, it's Bruce who's actually playing the thing on "Girl Don't Tell Me"...and I don't recall that it was doubled... As to how they ended up with it - just a guess, but maybe it was lying around the studio from a previous session? They were quite popular in those days...in fact, Brian had played one himself previously, on "Lana" from the "Surfin' U.S.A." album, and on "Little Saint Nick". Title: Re: The Celeste in Girl Don't Tell Me Post by: branaa09 on August 20, 2014, 08:40:14 PM That's right Bruce plays Celeste on the track. I forgot, I haven't completely read the Summer Days sessionography in a while. I love having these credits now available, I have learned so much. Bruce on Celeste for Girl Don't Tell Me and Brian on Harpsichord for When I Grow Up To Be a Man.

Was it a celesta or a glockenspiel? They can sound alike. Can't listen to Lana now, but I thought it was a glockenspiel also.

And there's sleighbells, which I'm guessing you knew. :) Title: Re: The Celeste in Girl Don't Tell Me Post by: feelsflow on August 23, 2014, 10:06:13 AM Craig, We're waiting for this to be posted on the ESQ beachboysarchives.com, right? If so, I'll bump it to the top of my favorites list.
Thanks for all the hard work (and time) you've put in on this project. Sure it will be worth the wait.

I see Andrew's bible makes it a glockenspiel on "Lana". I've always thought the same because it seemed to me I could hear the mallets at the end of bar 3. Maybe Brian was just thumping his celesta a little too enthusiastically... ;D Title: Re: The Celeste in Girl Don't Tell Me Post by: wantsomecorn on September 02, 2014, 08:00:40 AM I read the wonderful sessiongraphy by Craig on his website and I loved the fact that Brian used a Celeste on Girl Don't Tell Me.

The celeste plays the lower line, the glock plays the higher. |
