Hi from Brian

[CosmicDancer]

I'm always late to the party    Welcome, Brian!!  It's a great honor to have you here.  I hope you enjoy the board and are able to chat with us from time to time.  Thank you for all of the incredible music.

Hi Brian.  Thank you for stopping by and saying "Hello."

I'm very much looking forward to No Pier Pressure and I hope to one day hear the rest of your "Life Suite" tracks, as well.  The songs included from the suite which appeared on That's Why God Made the Radio were absolutely stellar!

Thanks again for dropping by.  I hope you enjoy your stay here at the forum and that maybe you'll even consider sharing some more thoughts with us from time to time.

Yours,
R. Smith

The Man Himself... hmmm... bit Hancockish for my tastes.  

"Hancockish"? What do you refer to?

I'd vote for either "Original Beach Boy" or the already proposed "The reason we're here".

There was a brit comedian called Tony Hancock years ago but I'm not familiar with his humor.

How about something like 'If you don't know, you shouldn't be here!'

Well, we know Mike pays attention to some things we post...



This was from his facebook feed a few minutes ago.

This might be the greatest thing to ever happen to this forum. 

Trumped!

Hi it's Brian. Just wanted to say hi. Exciting news soon. Love & Mercy.

Geez people, it was just an advertisement for a future "news on the album" release. You guys are acting like a bunch of little school girls.

[Joel Goldenberg]

Hi Brian, I remember fondly when I met you in 2005 at your Smile concert in Montreal, pictured to the left. Can't wait for your new album!

[Chocolate Shake Man]

Personally, I'm hoping for a few passing remarks about Chocolate Shake Man.

Don't spoil other people's harmless fun, that's not nice.

Because he really needs to advertise his new album to his most hardcore fans on the net, right?

Oh yeah, after all the years that this board has been around, he now decides to say "Hi"? Right before an announcement. I see.

Yep. He said hi and the members said hi back. Funny how that works.

A lot more than just "Hi", hence my original comment.

Had it been an announcement, it could be seen as an advertisement. But the announcement of an announcement... IMHO not.

Touchy, touchy. Man, we argue about anything. You guys just keep doing what you're doing. No harm, no foul.

[Rocker]

Meanwhile Brian and Mike skype with each other with Mike giving Brian the newest updates on SmileySmile.net

So, would anybody go ahead and make Brian his own SmileySmile-picture, please?

I'm hoping that if Brian and I are posting at the same time and our posts cross in the ether, my bald patch will be cured.

Hi John, Hey, they actually have stuff that you can rub on there to cure that bald patch.  Now, had Brian written back just once in the 7 pages since, I'd then say this was all worth the effort. But I suppose it is all in fun.
