Wow! Brilliant backing track! However, I don't think it's Brian; definitely Phil in my opinion.

Edit: I listened to it again and noticed the guy counting off at the beginning sounds a heck of a lot like Phi.

All of them are great, but I'm going to have to go with 'The Little Girl I Once Knew'

Yep. I believe those pictures with Maharishi were also taken by Linda.

Oh yeah. There is some damn fine snippets in that piece. Has there ever been a version without the narrative?

The musical sections from Mount Vernon and Fairway/'Fairy Tale Music' is the greatest thing Brian has ever done. I think it would have been his greatest musical feat if, instead of making a 10 minute fairytale, he created a whole album out of the songs from Mount Vernon (as well as other songs he had written at the time.)

This is very shocking and tragic news. RIP Hoffman.
