I liked Nelson Bragg talking about how he got the right bicycle horn sound.

Thanks for the link! Good to see the band getting credit.

It is sad that as great they are as a band and a vocal ensemble (and they are), they are still criminally underrated. You can't have the real Beach Boys in 2016 (not even C50 was the real Beach Boys - not without Carl and Dennis). But you come very, very close with the Brian band. Especially with the Jardines in the mix.

Cheers for the link.

I think the ideal "reunion" at this stage would be the C50 front and back line with Matt Jardine in place of Foskett. Plus maybe Billy Hinsche added in on keys.
