Shawn.
More than Shawn according to inside legend and really old court documents...


I don't think Jon means Mike's sister. The second wife fling is well known though

It's know that Dennis & Suzanne had a fling - Brian quite causally mentioned it in a 2005 interview about something else entirely, and threw Marilyn into the mix for good measure.

Ok, I have another question. What is Ecology? I just stumbled on this interesting recording today. What year was it made in? Who was involved in the recording?

"Ecology" was the working title for a track Dennis worked on during his 1971 solo album sessions: the intro became the intro to "River Song".

Sorry, just read your post properly. Unless someone's been exceedingly careless, what you've heard isn't "Ecology".

OT: I always found it tragic that the BBs who did their utmost best to destroy their own bodies were so involved with the preservation of nature and health (POB, the Radiant Radish). A psychiatrist would probably call it: living in denial; but this author has no doubt that their intentions were utmost sincere.

That was what struck me about Dennis - at the precise moment he was saying anything, he was sincere, 100%. But five minutes later, could be a different tale.

If it's the same interview that AGD is talking about, it was in Q magazine and the question was something like:

Q. Did Dennis deserve his reputation as a ladies man?

A. Well, he had sex with my wife, Mike's wife and Al's wife, so yes.

That's the one ! Brian's phraseology killed me: "he had intercourse with many women - my wife, Mike's wife, Alan's wife..."

Brian's the exact same way, in my estimation, that's why his favorite albums have gone from "Friends" to "Carl and the Passions" and "Holland" to "Summer Days" to "Love You" many times over.

I like the Beatles a bit more than the Boys of Beach, I think Brian's band is the tops---really amazing. And finally, I'm liberal. That's it.

1. What was the relationship between Carl and Mike like?  We know a lot about Mike's relationship with Brian and Dennis but he really has never said anything about Carl and Carl never really said anything about him.

2. Who was responsible for the live arrangements of songs?

3. Starting with the 1976 the touring band exploded in size (horns, 3 or 4 keyboard players, Charles Lloyd, Ed Carter and Bobby F on percussion).   Why did they do this?

4. It has been reported that Carl and Brian had a strained relationship from about 1975 until a year or so prior to Carl's passing.  What was the problem?

What do you mean? The recording I have heard has the River Song melody, first played on piano, and then on  what sounds like a synthesizer. Then there is another section that has Dennis singing something along the lines of "Our Love, is bigger than the ocean". Then it ends with with mid tempo drums and guitar.

Sorry to butt in again, but I have a question about this subject(highlighted above). Why did the group only very rarely play the middle eight(is that what you'd call it?) of God Only Knows as heard on the original studio version? Most of the time when the song was played live, that section was substituted for another melody.

Another connected question, it's often said that Carl wanted the band to rehearse more and that Mike wasn't really interested in doing so. As Mike wouldn't really have been needed at rehearsals though, is it widely felt that Al and Bruce (and Brian and Dennis when around for that matter) also weren't really into doing that much preparation for shows?

I think I know the section you're talking about...I would more accurately descrbe it as the short instrumental break before the middle eight/bridge.  I've always wondered that too.  Brian himself altered this section on the Lei'd In Hawaii version, and the band just seemed to go along with it from there on in.  The little walk up is easier to play for sure, but that can't be the entire reason.  My best guess is that without additional musicians on stage with them, that section wouldn't sound the same as on the original recording, so they decided to keep it simple.

Yeah, but even after they got lots of extra musicians onstage with them, they still skipped that part for years (until the early-mid '90s, I think).  And even then, they didn't quite get it right.

That's a good point...maybe they just didn't like that part and thought that the walk up sounded better.  The part on the studio recording was a bit jarring for me when I first heard it, so perhaps they were worried that the audience would have a similar reaction.  That or they were just lazy.

So I've had this Odeon Records Version of Smile for a while, and it contains all the standard stuff, however it also has a version of Can't Wait Too Long, the first thirty seconds of which I've never heard before. It starts with a really mournful acapella part featuring a female voice and then breaks into a version of the main part of the song with clapping. Does anybody know where exactly this is from?
