A relatively unpublicised song from Brian. Kinda hidden away in back of some of the Beach Boys' more celebrated songs. But I've ALWAYS loved this song. The melody, the fantastic mid-tune organ chorus, Brian's soaring falsetto - it's all here !! Another unmitigated little GEM from Brian The Unbeatable !!
Right on, OMAHAJOE49 ! Mike was a jealous little jerk with a small mind but a big mouth. To Be Sure - his voice was ESSENTIAL to the unique B.Boys sweet harmony sound ; but from what I've seen of Mike in action over several decades - plus what other, AUTHORITATIVE literature sources say about him, he seems not to have been such a terribly nice guy.
Have you hit the west coast yet? Do you know what its like to catch a set off of Huntington Beach (the real Surf City), La Jolla, Santa Cruz or Manhattan Beach. You should try if you haven't. I won't dis' NC only because I haven't surfed there yet (and I would like to). This weekend should be pretty crazy (Hurricane/TS Hanna).
For the east coast,OBX does have the best waves!

Who cares what coast, surfing is great all over the world, just like bikes who cares what brand name, it's the wind in the face..

Until I read Wikipedia's article on the song, I never realized that there was a harp in it! Mike Love's sister Maureen is playing it on this track.
