Some girls are singing on the "Smiley" version of "Wonderful"...or it's the Boys on helium...
From the Stephen Desper Thread (now in PDF form):
WONDERFUL
Baldwin Organ and cellest at first with Carl
Wa Wa Wonderful is wives singing segment
Children, who I think were Carl's (that would be Jonah), were present at the vocal recording and ask to be quite, but the whispers were kept in the mix because of the "party" section
Harmonica
Party like sounds of family gathering, a seperate recording. Audree (mother), Dennis and Brian are named. All the wives and other friends are in the mix. Piano* in background with organ.
Brian at piano*
Na-Na is Brian & Carl
*The piano has a special tuning practiced by some piano tuners who tune studio pianos. It widely detunes the second and third string of the note set.
In Windchimes the "honk" -- do you mean at 1:26, the organ stop in tape echo?
