Awesome! Thanks fellas.


So does that make "Surfer Girl" basically the most quintessential Beach Boys tune?

OK, semantics, Collin. "Most quintessential" is like, "extrasuperfluous".

Prolly "Surfin' Safari"?

"Fascinating"...

What the...?

I didn't write any of this, after the second line.You editing my posts, Paul?

My screwup, Collin, and no harm intended. I hit the "Edit" button instead of the "Quote" one.


Sorry, my friend.

Should have looked like the next post...
