In Brian Wilson/B. Boys
THE DAWN PATROL "By the end of 1965, [Mike Deasy] was doing 15 sessions a week including ones for the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds, which he remembers fondly. 'Brian Wilson couldn't write out the musicians’ parts, and he didn't hire an arranger to do it. Instead, he would say to each musician, 'Now, you play this,' and he would hum out a part. He could describe sounds to you, too. If you just listened to one part of it without hearing all the others, it almost didn't make sense. But we all knew that we were going somewhere with this music.'"
