Sessions musicians, maybe Al Jardine. Brian behind a keyboard - front and center. If he wasn't there, it would have sounded just like the beach boys. But with him there, it was the beach boys. I never realized how much I loved Help Me Rhonda. An amazing show.

Born and raised, overseas, to American parents. On one of our visits to America, between our postings, I was at the Jersey shore and I first heard Good Vibrations. He had a good long life, but he will be missed, by this lifelong fan.

“Good Vibrations” by Mike Love is a good, insider’s telling of The Beach Boys history.

I also had a soft spot for “Anaheim, Azusa & Cucamonga Sewing Circle, Book Review and Timing Association" and now that I'm older, I like it even more as I can identify with those ladies. Brian Wilson was, indeed, a genius and I thank him for all the wonderful music. I listen to some that is on my play list almost daily and it still makes my spirit soar and when I hear, 'I Can Hear Music,' I am 16 and falling in love. RIP
