I've been on a HUGE Freshmen kick lately. Found this song last night, and was so blown away by the chords that I ended up staying up all night figuring it all out. Took me back to my teenage years figuring out Brian's songs.

Interesting point on this one, apparently it's one of the last studio recordings of the Freshmen with Bob Flanigan handling the leads / high parts. His voice held up really well up til his retirement in the early 90s.

Nice!  I always look forward to what you bring here in your SMiLE A.D. mood.
It's a Today Kind of Thing.

Thanks guys. It was more of an exercise in figuring out the chords as opposed to trying to make a good recording.

Here's the Four Freshmen's take if anyone hasn't heard it. Hearing Bob Flanigan over this type of track is pretty bizarre, but awesome:

Was listening to your Henry Hemingway - Day by Day Ep yesterday.  Those four songs are some of my very favorites by you.

Give us something new. -Will
