Good stuff.  I'm no expert, but I remember the first time I heard one of your covers I thought, "Is he kidding, this is just the Beach Boys."  No doubt the use of the real backing track influenced my perception, but the quality of the vocals is excellent nonetheless.  Thanks for posting.

Nice to know some of you have been listening. I'm currently working on 'The Little Girl i Once New" which is proving to be the trickiest one i've attempted. Hope to have it finished in a couple of days!

I've actually been working on a cover myself of the intro to SMiLE (Our Prayer/Gee/H&V) and your video with all of the separate harmonies for "Our Prayer" was a LIFESAVER, thank you so much!! I can't imagine what I would have done without it. I probably would have just died right there at the computer, face down on the keyboard. Keep up the good work!

Nice to be of assistance. Its took me a while to figure out the parts to Our Prayer ,in particular Mike's part, which goes up and down like a roller coaster.I look forward to hearing your version.

Dave, your recordings are simply amazing.

I've previously listened to a lot of your videos and I'm very impressed by the fact that it all sounds so good despite the fact that it's only one guy overdubbing all the voices. I often find that this will make the harmonies sound bland and less exciting but to my ears you somehow allways avoid this.

Have you ever thought about recording original material? I bet you could pull off some great stuff on your own...

I'm a little late to the party (although I've heard your version of "Our Prayer," which was incredible), but the rest of your stuff is fantastically done as well.  The harmonies are sung perfectly and blend perfectly, and that's not always easy with Beach Boys tunes.  Definitely looking forward to hearing whatever else you plan on doing in the future!

Thanks so much.
 I'd like to do some original stuff eventually. I quite enjoy dissecting the harmonies and putting them all together,so for me it's a labour of love.
Thanks for listening in!
Dave.
