The Celeste in Girl Don't Tell Me

I read the wonderful sessiongraphy by Craig on his website and I loved the fact that Brian used a Celeste on Girl Don't Tell Me. Was there a reason why it was used or how they were able to locate one? I even love the fact that it was even doubled by Brian as an insert!

Thanks, glad you like it! But just to clarify, it's Bruce who's actually playing the thing on "Girl Don't Tell Me"...and I don't recall that it was doubled...
As to how they ended up with it - just a guess, but maybe it was lying around the studio from a previous session? They were quite popular in those days...in fact, Brian had played one himself previously, on "Lana" from the "Surfin' U.S.A." album, and on "Little Saint Nick".

That's right Bruce plays Celeste on the track. I forgot, I haven't completely read the Summer Days sessionography in a while. I love having these credits now available, I have learned so much. Bruce on Celeste for Girl Don't Tell Me and Brian on Harpsichord for When I Grow Up To Be a Man.

Volume One is completed and imminent. Hopefully it's down to a matter of days.

Craig, on Little St Nick... Was it a celesta or a glockenspiel? They can sound alike. Can't listen to Lana now, but I thought it was a glockenspiel also.

What he's not telling us that it's a matter of maybe 365 days.

Both, actually...they trade lines. And there's sleighbells, which I'm guessing you knew.

Craig, We're waiting for this to be posted on the ESQ beachboysarchives.com, right? If so, I'll bump it to the top of my favorites list.
Thanks for all the hard work (and time) you've put in on this project. Sure it will be worth the wait.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure it's a celeste on "Lana"...compare to "Baby, It's You" on The Beatles'

They trade lines? Wow.
I see Andrew's bible makes it a
glockenspiel
on "Lana". I've always thought the same because it seemed to me I could hear the mallets at the end of bar 3. Maybe Brian was just thumping his celesta a little too enthusiastically...

That's definately a celeste in the fade-out, right? Right towards the end as they keep repeating "Christmas comes this time each year".

On our way through this "backstage" maze, Bruce joined up with the group and said hello, singing "It Never Rains in Southern California" and joking with some of the older ladies. I'm not sure if they knew he was a Beach Boy or simply an enthusiastic elderly gay gentleman.

The celeste plays the lower line, the glock plays the higher.
