Lovely job, Mitch - thanks for sharing.

Thanks guys! Check out Steinar's version for the epitome in tone and sensitivty.

This tune is my absolute favorite modern composition. It's a genius tune IMHO.

Thanks Doug / Mike !

I love producing the backing tracks, arranging, engineering etc as much as the playing.

If I had never heard Steinar's terrific version I would have never thought to attempt this tune.

That's beautiful Mitch, I really enjoyed your playing. Another Beach Boys tune that sounds great on steel is "In My Room". The steel guitar really captures the beauty of their harmonies. Smile

Doug Beaumier · From: Northampton, MA

Yes, and another Beach Boys tune that sounds good on steel is "Don't Worry Baby". They had such great melodies, chord changes, and harmonies... Cool

Thanks for the suggestions guys ! I have about a dozen more traditional Hawaiian classics on my to-do list, but I think I may have to take a Beach Boys detour ? Cool
