I presumed that it was Jeff. I didn't know that Brian still had a falsetto in him.

Does anyone but me have an issue with the quality of the falsetto?

I saw Jeff with Brian at the Smile show in Montreal and later in Calgary a few years ago. Jeff was outstanding. I sure that his falsetto isn't failing him.

Pretty weak falsetto from Jeff on this one. Is this typical lately

I don't understand why a Japan cd gets 2 bonus tracks yet Capitol does not include them as we'll. ridiculous

BW is listed as the author. Does anyone believe that? Smells like another example of Brian by Whomever.

I saw them a couple of years ago in Vancouver.  Vallie and 4 young back up singers that were not born when they had their first hit. Good show though but now I read that Vallie is using back up tracking falsetto.

Well stated.

I'm a little surprised that the Hollens song is on the album. It's been available for a few months now on his own album. I was not expecting it to appear on NPP.

I would like to have Mike on the board. I think that he would answer the questions with candor. I have never met the man. I cannot form an opinion of him. Some of you have met him. Those that have seem to have differing opinions. I would like us to put our opinions aside and invite the man to answer our questions.
I think that we should invite them all but seperately.

We learned that Brian was nice enough to answer questions for all of you which is one hell of a lot more than some of the other so called rock icons.
Bravo Brian and thank for taking the time and effort.

...and if you play the last 10 seconds of  Back Home backwards on the vinyl release you can clearly hear Denis whisper "I buried Saul"

I'm still alive.

He knows.  He doesn't live it on a daily basis...but he knows...and he has people who keep him abreast of what's happening.  Like his wife for example.  I sat beside her at a Smile show in Montreal.  She CARES man.  She really cares.  And she cares...in person.

We actually used to chat with him on-line.  Someone else would type for him but he'd answer questions and respond to comments.  That was pretty much before BWPS.  After that...not so much...and then...nothing.  And then there's now.  THIS is important to him

Cool.  I was at the Montreal smile concert too.

If I recall, the condom had the famous surfer girl album cover printed on it. For some of you of course, Dave and Mike would not appear.

Thanks for this Add Some. You brought a Smile to my face.  My sentiments as well.

I never "got" your lyrics but Happy Birthday anyways

I am suspicious. If at the very least Brian and Al are not involved, I don't think that they can call themselves the Beach Boys. I think that his rights only apply to the touring issue and not the recordings.
Have we heard anything from the Wilson or Jardine camps?

Nice memories. Thanks for sharing, Steve

Rather good. Thanks SS

IMHO there are a great deal of artists that had no business being named to the r & r hall of fame and a great many of our finest artists who have not. I no longer consider it a credible organization.

I got an American Fender vintage series 1965 Jaguar identical to Carl's (except mine is Surf Green instead of white) and a Pendleton board in original surf plaid. Beach Boy enough?

Are you talking about a Pendleton Board shirt in plaid or a Pendleton board, as in surf board in plaid design?  'Cause both of these are available from Pendleton.

The shirt is called a "board shirt" according to Pendleton
