Wow. The Brian Wilson thing was just so... wonderful. How lucky you are to be a part of such a great guy that made some really good music that got into your bones. Fun great music, that well was unbelivable against the other music at the time. His music was honest and heart felt. You could hum a tune and get happy real fast. What more is there. rythims and beat that made a grey day really good. What a story you can share with your kids some day...
