I liked Nelson Bragg talking about how he got the right bicycle horn sound.

It is sad that as great they are as a band and a vocal ensemble (and they are), they are still criminally underrated. You can't have the real Beach Boys in 2016 (not even C50 was the real Beach Boys - not without Carl and Dennis). But you come very, very close with the Brian band. Especially with the Jardines in the mix.

I think the ideal "reunion" at this stage would be the C50 front and back line with Matt Jardine in place of Foskett. Plus maybe Billy Hinsche added in on keys.
