haha, excellent. i love 'all summer long'. The album is also one of the better early BBs records, "wendy" is a great tune.

i can't imagine what it's like to be VDP. he's one of the best things to happen to music, and being friends with brian wilson, must be incredible!

Our personal friend, VDP, is sure a class act, courtly courtney, isn't he? Would you expect anything less from a dandy.

haha, i know! the bit about the applause being for his wife for making him sit down was excellent! he's so humble. i can imagine how people went crazy to see him though, yet he denies it. if it were me i would be like 'yes, thank you, yes i wrote these wonderful lyrics, everyone applaude for me..' hehe. but i guess that's why he's a dandy and i'm not.

Thanks for that. One of my good friends saw the very same concert (Van Dyke Parks was only 2 rows away from him!) and said it was one of the best things he's ever seen in his life.

oh, if only we could have seen THAT one, sbrink and I kept looking around at the Liverpool one, thinking we saw VDP, but alas...
