It's up now.  Click on the "Pacific Ocean Blue and Bambu" link at beachboysarchives.com
You should see an updated 33 page PDF.  If you still see the 27 page version (like some of us do about every other time via AOL), go through your Internet Explorer and it should work.

I've made some updates and corrections to the main POB essay as well, so check that out again even if you've already read it. 

Next will be "Bambu".

Great stuff!

I'm a bit confused, though -- I thought the "Time For Bed" track originated as "New Orleans", not "Down In Mexico"?  Which one's "New Orleans", then?

Cheers,
Jon Blum

"New Orleans" apparently is the name given to it by bootleggers, based on the sound of the track.
From what I gather, Dennis never used that title.

Great stuff! I'm really looking forward to the Party! stuff too.

You're gonna go back and do the pre-Today albums too though, right?

All in good time...
:)

Cool.

I'm heading to your website right now. I've really appreciated the notes on the Today and Summer Days sessions:  a real labour of love for which I thank you. Good luck with future installments!
