Title: My Solution: 411
Post by: runalot on June 12, 2006, 02:00:17 AM
What year was it made?
Was it intended for an album?
Is that Brian in the lead?
What other BB's present?

Any other tidbits of this song would be very helpful. Thanks! =)

You're welcome,

There is also an instrumental version recorded during the KTSA-sessions. Brian recycled the song for "Happy days" on Imagination.

Bill is on it; wow, I knew it sounded like it was "filipino". =)

Happy Days? On Imagination? I don't get it. We talkin' Scott Baio here?

Thanks, guys.

As it sounds like you aren't familiar with this, it was Brian's second (not counting Wasn't Made For These TImes) solo album - Imagination in 1998 - the track 'Happy Days' - nothing to do with the Fonz. It is a obvious rewrite of My Solution.

Not one of my favourite songs or albums I have to say.

I like the 1970 version and I think it would have made a fun Halloween single with a slightly tighter performance.

Actually, the 1980 version was cut several months after "Keepin' The Summer" was released.

...and "All This Is That"....and the "whispering winds" thing from "Wind Chimes."
