Lets say, entirely hypothetically, that Charles Lloyd is playing a show at my university, and that given my contacts in the music dept., at the venue, etc., I might possibly be able to ask him a few questions about his time with the Beach Boys.  What kinds of things might people want to know or ask?  If you could ask Charles Lloyd one questions, what would it be? 

Also, have any Beach Boys researchers/biographers/fans interviewed him about his time with the Beach Boys?  Could anyone point me towards these kinds of things?  Lloyd was a relative outsider playing with the Beach Boys during some very interesting times in their career, and seems to have been on very good terms with both the Mike/Al "faction" and the Carl/Dennis "faction," so I feel like he might have some interesting insights.

I'd like to know what he thinks about "Feel Flows", and what he thought about it the first time he heard it. Also, his reflections on "The Beaks of Eagles", preferably in comparison to "Feel Flows".

Could be interesting to hear a professional jazz musician's opinions on this, right?  Cool Guy

My humble suggestions:

1. Were anybody of the BBs interested in free jazz and other then-recent developments in jazz? (Lloyd's works of the late sixties, for example)?
2. Any opinion on the (more classic) jazz influence on the BBs vocal voicings?

Would love to know more about BBs' involvement on his album(s) thinking the song TM on 1972's Waves, primarily - as much as vice-versa. Anything else unreleased in the can from that era?  Any chance of that 1980s muddy CD remaster being improved upon?

Anything he could tell us about Carl as a person in and out of the studio.

Have him tell you about the "Warm Waters" recording sessions. Being the only album of his that the Beach Boys performed on, I think it's a prudent question. Considering it's an unknown unknown album, he probably won't be expecting it

along with "Waves"? At least two BBs contributions on that album.
