Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / I a=have a Van Dyke Parks question....

According to his website, he played accordian on Kokomo. I was under the impression that his only link to the BB's was thru Brian but Brian wasn't involved in Kokomo. I wonder how he ended up on the track?
on an unrelated note, I just found a vinyl copy of his Tokyo Rose album at a local store for $3, it's actually really good!

What does everyone think about pushing the deadline back a month to the end of November. I'm not really happy with what I have so far and I dont think I'm gonna have time for the fixes. I havent received any submissions yet so I'm guessing everyone is in the same boat. Thoughts?

I wonder what the albums will be titled?
Rhapsody in Bloo ? Ouch..... I'd go for "Sum-sum-summertime" Seriously, the more I think about it, the more it really is exciting. I'd expected a totally different thing, but this could become something really great and important to Brian's musical legacy Oh yeah... 'Summertime' has those alternating minor, bluesy scales and uplifting major parts. It would ideally suit Brian's approach. Think a bit of 'Walk On By', for instance... the stuff of dreams. Summertime is a great song.....alright, you're talking me into it here...

Am I honestly the only one who feels underwhelmed from the big announcement. To me it just seems that the BW camp had built up a little momentum with his TLOS. Gershwin and Disney just sounds a little dated to me. I'm sure both the albums will be nice listening experiences but......meh. Rant off.
Gershwin? Dated? Did you take peyote? You're right, I just called my mom and she said that Gershwin is in no way dated, my bad. Nothing wrote with dated really, I mean BW's most successful solo album was 37 years old before it event got rerecorded. Dated works with BW. Very true but that was original material. I know that the Gershwin material holds a special place in Brians heart so that is reason enough for the album. I guess that it's just that the world already has so many Gershwin tribute projects and dont even get me started on Disney tribute albums . Anyways, just sharing my opinion, I guess I should hold off on crticism before actually hearing it. Thanks for participating in the debate.

From BW Admin: "Hi Mark and everyone guessing about today's announcement: This is news about the here and now and it's quite exciting. The only thing we can say is that there's no looking back on this one. We'll have it up as soon as we get the good word ..."
Hmm....
Guess that takes a reunion out of the equation....Sounds like a new album, I'm cool with that.

That sucks man. Hopefully they'll be ok.
I Havent even tried to power on the head yet, just letting it dry out. My room was the only one that had any damage luckily. I had most everything up off the floor but I forgot about the head, it's just an old Peavey that I used in a college band so it's not a huge loss. We were lucky compared to our neighbors.

I've got my guitar track done and thats about it, we had some flooding here in Atlanta and I have been cleaning mud out of my music room for a week. My bass amp and cabinet were hit pretty hard, not sure if they will be salvageable yet or not. I'm going to try and press on as soon as I can.
