Taken too soon by a tragedy, our fellow Vocal Creator Tom Bradbury passed away this week. Things haven't been the same since! Everyone is stricken with grief, sadness, and disbelief at the sudden turn of events. In the spirit of mourning, I've written a poem to honor his memory. Please enjoy.
Raising sheep with a warm heart,
Within a dilapidated mill, renovated with love.
Now swept away by clouds; a premature restart,
Tending the wayward flocks above.
🐑🐑🐑🐑
All is lost but not forgotten.
Tears shed with hugs to follow,
A landslide of emotions softened by cotton.
The reality is a bitter pill to swallow.
🐑🐑🐑🐑
Sipping on dandelion lemonade made with care,
Observing delinquent lambs causing trouble.
Realizing that he won't be there
To burst their chaotic bubble.
🐑🐑🐑🐑
Losing Tom was the greatest crime, but it's not goodbye,
It's seeing you later; until next time.

'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.
