I've been to the Strathmore before (which is in North Bethesda Maryland, not DC but digress  )

Small but GREAT acoustics. Perfect venue for Brian.

Oh yeah!  Saw Mike and Bruce there a few years ago in a show that included several cuts from the Christmas album that I never thought I would ever hear live.

Got my ticket for the September show.  Definitely hoping for Blondie to be there as he missed the Brian/Beck show at the Warner in DC.

"That's Not Me"

Would have loved to had heard Dennis on lead for this one.

"I once had a dream
So I packed up and split for the city
I soon found out that my lonely life wasn't so pretty"

Fantastic job Kayla!  Dennis, Carl, and Mike would be very proud!  This was one of Dennis' songs I always hoped you would tackle, especially after your heartfelt cover of Forever.  And you got to meet the Big Guy; how great of a week you must have had!


Beach Boys Lovin Bob

Kayla:

Fantastic job on one of Brian's signature tunes!

BBLB

Kayla:

Wonderful job on one of my fav Brian leads.  You have such a rich voice that makes these covers your own.  Would love to hear you do "Only With You."

BBLB

Favorite to sing:  Warmth of the Sun (hard to keep the emotions in check when singing this one)

Hardest to sing:  Let Him Run Wild (trying to sing along to the Stack-o-Tracks track is humbling experience)

BBLB

Kayla:

Hope you get an BB cover album out there someday.  I have listened to your cover of Time to Get Alone over and over again.  You really nailed that one.  I love your new video as well.  Please keep wowing us!

Mike Love has written MANY bad lyrics. I can't believe, even as hardcore fans, that this is being disputed.

I have no issues with the lyrics to FF and LPR.  I am however interested in hearing which Mike Love penned lyrics were embassingly bad by the time of the Surf's Up album.  After Holland is another story but prior to 71 which ones are the real stinkers.

Beach Boys Lovin Bob

Great news!  Count me in for a purchase and like AGD I want liner notes and I would like album art (maybe you can recreate a BB cover?)

Would love to hear you do a version of Dennis' "Only With You" and the title track from the Wild Honey album.

Beach Boys Lovin Bob

I know one thing for sure I want to do
I want to spend this life with you
Only With You

Love in its/his purest form

Kayla:

For a one woman do it all singer/instrumemtalist you are really nailing the essence of Brian's music and your videos are polished with your own unique style.  Best of all you have the pipes to make any song you do worth hearing again and again.  Many thanks and congrats for the well-deserved praise coming your way!

Beach Boys Lovin Bob

Kayla Willliams singing Time to Get Alone with lush BVs supplied by the Beach Boys.  I'd go for that!

 

BBLB

Kayla:

A very sweet vocal and fun video!  I know there is no bass vocal part in there but dang if I can't hear one anyway...  Another winner.

Beach Boys Lovin Bob

Looks like Brian is in the same get-up as the pick of him at the Radiant Radish.

Beach Boys Lovin Bob

If it is well-planned out AND rehearsed it should bring a tear to many a BB fan's eyes.  I also want to see Al and David involved.

BBLB

So I do have another cover, it's not Beach Boys (theres another on the way soon!) BUT it does include a little touch of BB's!!

Kayla:  Loved it and the way you snuck the BBs in there!  Do you sing all the background parts on your songs or are others contributing from your band?

Thanks for your comments! ha I wish I could sell them to you but it's a matter of royalties! I could not afford to pay for the Beach boys rights but I do have my own album, granted it's not Beach Boys but it is for sale lol

When I get more time I would like to do I can hear music, breakaway, Darlin' and many more!

Kayla:

Love how you handled the interlude on I Went To Sleep, a perfect lullaby.  I like your choice of future covers but please consider doing some of Dennis' gentle work like Make It Good and Only With You.
