Steve, all your work is so great!

I really like your tone on this one. I've got an old Panda but I can't get it to sound like yours!

David, feed it some bamboo, that's Steve's secret!

Some sweet playing there--and without finger picks!

Loved it... would really like to hear you tackle that bridge piece after the 2nd verse where the time signature changes (interestingly, for some odd reason the Beach Boys left that part of the song out of their live shows during Carl's lifetime-- apart from some "live" lip-synched performances you can find on YouTube).

I haven't heard them add it back into the song until fairly recently (and by "recently" we're probably looking at the last 6-7 years). When they were doing it live back in 2015-16, they were flying in Carl's video and vocal from the Knebworth show in 1980, but bringing back the full bridge).

OK-- Enough Beach Boys trivia. Wonderful performance of perhaps the greatest pop song ever written (just ask Paul McCartney)!!

Awesome job on a beautiful song! I'd love to hear you cover In My Room; another Beach Boy favorite. Liked and subscribed. Thanks for posting.
