Frank Zappa at upper right?

On the Friends album cover, I think I see Paul McCartney and maybe David Anderle? Does anyone know who those other people are?

Kinda crazy, but has anyone ever heard anybody play "Wendy" and do the cough at the right time?

Did Brother Records ever use a company sleeve for their 45 single releases? As opposed to a picture sleeve. 

I just heard "Beach Burlesque" on the internet. It's an outtake from MIU, 1977. Who does the lead vocal?

I sure hope that John gets back with The Cowsills. They just put out a new CD and are still sounding good. The touring bboys band has become a joke.

Jim should have been the #1 drummer choice. He was a better and more adaptable  musician and his drum sound and tone were better. IMHO

I can't fathom how someone who caused such physical and mental pain for the Wilsons was not paid back in full. And then there's that "book."  Family? WTF?

I think Mike really was tearing up. His expression matched it. This was not only a "This Is Your Life" show, but it very well may be the last one with his cousin, who sang "Danny Boy."  I wish Mike and Brian would have been seated in the middle. Just think if one of the artists would have come out and started singing "Teenage gambler, sitting in a Rambler, listening to the radio." What would have been their reaction?

This may have been already mentioned or thought of, but how about a two or three LP set ala Stack-O-Tracks spanning their whole career?

Wow, pedal steel. Tony Jr. was a talented guy. Thanks!

Who plays the slide guitar lead on Marcella?

If you're not looking for Smile II, have an open mind and just want to have a fun listen, Looking Back With Love can be just that. I'd buy it just for Paradise Found, the duet with Joanie Sommers. I wasn't a George Michael fan, but I thought Listen Without Prejudice was a great title. BTW, I thought Brian's My Solution was great. You gotta love stuff for what it is and not worry that someone will think you're not cool. I got over that mentality years ago.

Looking Back With Love is still not available on CD. Also, Problem Child. I'd buy those.

Thanks, I'll check it out. There are some great musicians on those records.

Does anyone know what musicians Quincey Jones used in his 1960's pop productions, such as Lesley Gore? Those guys were really good.

In the latest ESQ, there is mention of an attempted "takeover by bad people" of The Beach Boys in the early 80's. Anybody know anything about that?

When I read that in ESQ I thought Landy

Exactly what I thought...

I've got a promo copy of "The Fastest Gun Alive." That was a great movie with Roy Orbison.

Who is Bob & Bobby? Twelve o Four and Baby What You Want Me To Do? Great record.

Yes, I have wishful thinking. As for The Honeys, it's so unfortunate that they never put out more music with Brian. I know it was circumstances, but it's still too bad.

I don't think he played drums much, but that's a great question!

If the Beach Boys have a 60th Anniversary tour, what are the chances of getting The Honeys involved?

Thanks for the reply. I hope he comes back. One of my all time favorite albums is "Al Jardine Family and Friends Live In Las Vegas." It's pure joy from beginning to end!

Whatever happened to Adam Jardine? Has he given up music? He was a good singer.
