To Dad
I'll always remember your teachings
You've made sure to sear them into my brain
And I couldn't thank you enough
Because they've helped me so many ways
Don't worry so much about me
You know I'm going to be fine
Once i become self-disciplined
You know there is power amongst this mind
But talk is cheap
So I'll just have to show you
You couldn't put a price on your wisdom
That's the greatest gift from you
I don't think I've ever thanked you for life
And the chance to show the world my spirit
I think I'll stand on mountain tops
And announce it so all can hear it
One day you'll be proud of me Father
I truly take pride in you Dad
I just wanted you to know
That your the best father a son could ever have

I was shot in the face at point blank range with a double barrel 12 gage during an strong arm robbery that quickly turned into an Attempted Murder. Although I'm missing my right eye and a bullet in my brain. I AM STILL ME & I AM STILL HERE

"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.
