A Poem for My Regular Readers
This poem is dedicated to anyone that reads my work. Most importantly though it is dedicated to those that I know regularly read my work. I apologize for not responding as quickly as I usually do to comments. If a couple months ago someone told me I’d be writing so much lately that it would be hard to keep up with the comments, I’d say they were crazy. I’d especially like to thank(in no particular order) Judey, Randy, Dharrsheena, Judey, Cathay, Babs, Oneg, Mike, Cendrine, Grz, Paul, Heather, Jazzy
I’m sorry I’ve been so busy
I appreciate every word you send
I know sometimes I respond right away
Sometimes it takes day
Sometimes longer
I’m not ignoring you
I’ve just had so much to do
I’m working as fast as I can
To make up my time with you
I appreciate everything you do
It let’s me know that people care
Even when it seems like no one is there

'20/20'
"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.
